Yup, my 1st Autobarn - I've looked at a couple of others, #11R in Silverstone livery, #05R in Phillipe Charriol livery, but thought the San Miguel livery on #06R was pretty special!!


Sami, your #21R looks mighty fine! Glad you, got it and it's OK

So it was that San Miquel what you bought...?! (I wroted you an email)
That is prity special indeed!

And what comes that #08R, strange that every where else there seems to be that BPR decal on the door, but I haven't got it that model........Strange.

Yep, the #21R is brilliant, perfect model like the saler said, thanks your tips about this, I considered it long time, but the price were so right that there really wasn't any choise.

Here is couple of shots more, if some one is interested:

Yep, very nice indeed!

I have this version with Andy Wallace's signature:








I can also recommend both other AB's you had in mind. Especially the 05R PCW livery!

This guy "rocspo" has a nice comparison of the LM'95 winner of the different manufacturers (AutoBarn, Minichamps and IXO) of 1/43's:

Sadly he had the incorrect 7-hole-front version of the Minichamps and also a version of AutoBarn that had a little painting error on the nose section.

As also he has a nice photo album of almost all McLaren F1's AutoBarn has released:

Also Maurice has a nice collection of McLaren F1 models, mainly road cars. He also has some more special handbuilts from smaller manufacturers such as Davis&Giovanni and Rosso:

The result was exactly what I expected. IXO's has many faults on details. Not suprise for anyone here I think? Rear lights, wheels. Headlamps were looking different, maybe that's has many opinnions how they should do those models. But rear lights were very different than Minichamps and Autobarn. Also IXO's had different exhaust display, colored silver than others had black.
Suprise was also Minihamps different nose compared to IXO and Autobarn.

This links message was very clear.

Good to know, other collectors has IXO's model also, not just me who has couple of them. Fortunately, started to feel very uncomfortable allready.....

Yep, this is absolutely superb! Two WEST GTR McLarens is dream to get on your collection!. Very nice!!!! Indeed!
