Thats awesome!

thats got to be the most unique pic featuring the F1 LM that i have ever seen.

[tvrfreak]

That's a nice model. Are there others available? Do you have the link to them on ebay if they are still available. Much as I hate acquiring things and adding to the clutter in my life, I think I just might go for one of those.

Congrats - it looks great!

[Stratoraptor]

yeah, theres plenty of F1 LM diecast opprotunities on eBay. this guy here was selling both UT model versions of the F1 LM...

but beware if ur planning on buying one. there is one seller that robs people of their money by trying to sell one particular F1 LM...

if you check his feedback, you will notice a lot of complaints. some of them by those that tried to buy that model

Stratoraptor is right on. I bought mine from eBay seller "hobbyroger" who is in Brasil. For some reason most of the LM models are coming from there. "hobbyroger" was very good and the shipping was only $15 from Brasil. And he has good feedback. He told me that he has more.

I watched the LM auctions for a long time and even lost a few. Like the Sherminator in American Pie "It was just my time,".

There is one guy that sells F1 GTR LM prototype models which are standard F1 models and not LMs.

I type in "McLaren F1" into eBay's basic search feature. It comes up with a lot of Formula One stuff but also all the F1 roadcar stuff.

Here are two more pictures:

Funny thing, I bought 2 models and added water, and some sunlight. Then I talked to it for a little bit. Then looked what happened!!!!

have u been living under a rock?

[Peloton25]

No rock... Just look at when he joined. Maybe he should take some time to read a few more threads though.

I'm going to try to add water to my 1:18 scale F1 road car - that would solve all my problems. Of course I better do it outside as the full sized version would never fit in my room.
