Scale Models

[Karnevil]

So my first love is the TR7,I own one and,................err...............,several models!
Along with a smattering of other Harris Mann(signed) designs and some Triumph Stags and some models of cars I've owned.

The eagle eyed amongst you may spot a Stratos or two in there also.
It looks like I have quite a selection of versions,makers,colours and scales of the Stratos to now collect so who else has a Model Sratos collection?


These are all 1/18 scale.

And these are various scales 1/64,1/43 and HO

Hi Andy
I have a collection of over 300 Stratos models, mainly 1:43 hand built but a few 1:18 and 1:24.... Again mainly rally livery but a few of the race cars... It's all very colourful, being a saddo they are all logged with rally, driver, navigator, result etc etc

Paul Hassall and Ken also have collections so thankfully I am not the only big kid in the club !

cheers

It is going to be easier(harder more expensive) collecting Stratos' as there are a hell of a lot more of them than ever there are of TR7's and even Stags!
Some of the TR7 versions are so hard to get hold of.....................and expensive!It is only recently that a 1/18 has been produced by that I mean 2017 and 2018.

[renmure]

My scale model collection is a bit more limited. I had the intention of getting a 1/18th scale model of most of the cars I owned but ended up dropping the idea when some of the models seemed to get silly expensive (remember, I'm Scottish so fairly tight-fisted) so have sort of dropped that idea. I also got a toy model of an Ultima from the factory which I intended to paint like my car but made such a mess of putting it together that it underlined why I didn't make any attempt myself at the real thing. :D

Some are crazy prices.
I would like to collect.
Cars my Dad had in my time.
Cars I've owned in my life.
Then a realistic wish list(i.e Matra Bagheera,Murena etc)

[ah_sprite]

Bagheera? I always fancied one, too!

I finally got my hands on the one I'd always wanted - decided to sell it after a week, it certainly did not meet expectations! Funny how we all seem to share an interest in wedge-shaped cars, though...! :cool:

I believe for me it is pop up head lights...........

Visited the Matra factory museum last Easter.
Fantastic place.

Hi,
Got given this old model of a Fulvia... I suspect the model was bought around the time the Fulvia was on sale. :-)

The New Scalextric Stratos, just out.
We've talked about Alitalia livery variations before, but I've never seen this white treatment of the rear louvres on the 10 car. Was that ever done or is it a mistake?
2 more for my collection 1:64 - 1:1 scale .... getting on for 200...

[Stradale493]

I've got the same set with the same paint job on the "10" car.
Can't find any pictures on the web that show this gap in the stripe and I certainly wouldn't rule out it being a mistake - did you see the press photos where both cars had roof vents fitted back to front !

[Strat Fan]

Probably a mistake,

Should both cars not be round arch instead of square arch?

[ProtoTipo]

Should both cars not be round arch instead of square arch?

Yup. .

[StruanR]

and the Waldegard car, San Remo Rally, yellow front wheels, gold rear, correct?

[Strat Fan]

Looks OK

[StruanR]

Agreed, at least they got something right!

I have tried to locate a model of a Porsche 911 2.7 coupe 1975 ,( white ) with no success, does anyone out there know where I might be able to get one??

[Guy Mayers]

Anyone else who has this set found this problem?

[Lancialulu]

Went over yump and the pace notes bust the roof open??

Oddly enough that's almost true!

Turns out the glass moulding had popped off its retainer just needed clipping back in!

12600That looks a great collection

[Bernard]

Thank you !...

It all started with this model that a former club member Dave Clark over in Derby had in his collection.
12607
So he is the one I blame for the expense !
It was built by Valerio Comuzzi the owner of Arena Models in Italy

[Normb666]

Well even to my untrained eye it's pretty obvious that's not a Jensen. Hope you got it cheap... ;)

[Stratos Fear]

Dont think it's an Olympus either ....

[Jeff]

... Volvo?

Not posted in herd for a while.Had a count up yesterday and I find I have 29 1:18 scale Lancia Stratos so I'm thinking one more and stop?
What quantities of the same scale had every one else?

[john]

Just the one 1:18 scale. I have two full scale ones though!

[Bernard]

Just got back from Retromobile in Paris and Valerio Comuzzi (ARENA MODELS) has just made several new models of the Strato's from previously unreleased Lancia photo's... will post some photo's later... so get your anoraks out !

Had a look on the web site and there is no mention of any prices, or I didn't look that hard......................so what are the approx prices of the 1/43 and 1/24 limited editions ?

[Bernard]

You would need to contact Arena but I suspect £250 ish
