The McLaren F1: powered by a 6-liter, V12 engine specially designed by BMW, it had the unique feature of three front seats, with the driving position front and center. In all 106 units, including 28 destined for competition, were manufactured between 1993 and 1998. After … Continue reading McLaren F1 GTR Le Mans 1997 – 1/18 Minichamps Model Team Goh

In my humble opinion this is one of the most iconic race cars from the 1960’s. Driven by Jim Clark to victory in the Indianapolis 500 it was a total “Game Changer” in terms of race car design as it was the first rear engined car to win at the Brickyard and thereby sealing the doom of the front engined roadsters – no front engined car would ever win the 500 Indy again.

Another of my diecasts – this time a 1/18 Ferrari with all the bells and whistles – opening panels – beautiful paint finish – highly detailed interior and everything else you would expect from Kyosho. Once again, I’ll paint up a 1/18 Schumacher figure to” keep watch over it”! and perhaps I’ll also apply some racing decals on the car itself . In the meantime enjoy the pic’s.

I recently started to catalogue my Diecast collection which is a mixture of road and race cars in various scales. Starting with this one (a Shelby Cobra 427), I thought it would be an idea to feature each one in a posting on my Blog. It’s a 1/18 scale racing version of one of the most iconic American muscle cars, the Shelby AC Cobra. It features a cut down race screen (which I really like) together with sponsorship decals, full safety harness and race number. The overall finish is superb, and the hood, trunk and doors all open to reveal … Continue reading Kyosho Shelby Cobra – race version
