    Re: Model Cars

    So Andrew's car is based on a period colour scheme (yellow/light blue/dark blue). I didn't know that.

    Phil,
    I know most of your models are 1:43, but do you have any 1:24 scale?

    Hi CJ
    Yes the "Cavalca" car that Andrew has is an original colour scheme just less the stickers... the models in my collection are WRC and ERC colour schemes

    Yes I do have 1:24 and 1:18..... the 1:18 are pre made in a box.... the 1:24 are hand made and are by "Racing" of Italy and I have about 6 of these but they are not as popular as the 1:43

    I feel that the best 1:43 models are by Arena Modelli and are a resin based kit, the level of detail is really good........... whereas Racing are a metal based kit and some things are not quite right, like wheel offsets etc.... and there are some really bad models out there too !

    Blimey... I've found one photos of a Stratos in action in Cavalca colours... I didn't imagine that there were any models is this colour scheme.
    Where did you stumble across this one?? (I'm jealous)
