I was put off by the lack of the lower lamp pods. However it does look very good in 1/12!

Thanks Guys, i am happy with it and they did a Great job on the look of it, adding the Castrol Livery was the cream on the cake for me.

That light pod at the front is HUUUUUGE! Congrats on this beauty

[drivinghermad]

Thanks Chaim, TM are making some Great and interesting models at the moment and the quality is improving all the time so i am happy with this and the Big Light pod is a Great feature on this Beauty.

HEY Daz!! Congrats on adding the GT-Four!   Also, thanks for supporting Top Marques!!

[drivinghermad]

Thanks David, i notice you have one, they are very nice models. I am happy with all of the TM models and if they keep producing Beauties like this, Wanted models, i can see a bright future for them.

The first model of the new year and its a Great looker with a livery that suits it well. It's the Top Marques 1/12 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT,#46 in Red/White/Blue. Just after taking these photos i painted the back of the driving lights black like the real car and added the tiny little silver screws around the headlights too (tiny Hexagonal Glitter). This looks very nice as it's drying at the side of me as i write this. Very nice.

Very nice this Ferrari, Darren!

This impressive the difference to size with the 1:18 scale!

[drivinghermad]

Thanks Samuel, the impressive stance of a 1/12 gets you as you open the box and the beauty of this makes it a double win. This is another very nice model.

Here is a model that is a mix of Fantastic and then ordinary in quality. It's the Minichamps 1/12, 2016 Porsche 911R(991), in light green. This is a Great looking model but feels a bit plasticky in places and the Grills are not perforated. Not sure the real car has them like this as the ones i just looked on over the net has a tight weave on the mesh if it is mesh so i can say from photos it's a close match. Moving around the model it looks so good in the light green with working suspension and steerable and moving wheels. For the money i think it's worth getting as the detail is good but as mentioned the parts you see could have been a bit better. Minichamps of 20 years ago would have had better quality parts but back then they were around a third more to buy new. A eye catching model which looks Great and a worthy buy.

You have been quite busy with your latest adds.
My favorites are the Mercedes Vision GT your model looks really cool and i have seen the real thing a few years ago and i think they have done a good job replicating the car.
And the BMW M8, from the pics i think it looks more accurate than the 1:18 scale version for some reason, it looks quite impressive.
And the Ferrari, you can´t go wrong with that.

The 911R looks great in that color! I love it! 👌

[vulpex]

Yeah - this colour really pops!!!

[mcaf123]

Great colour, nice to see steerable front wheels and working suspension and even the tyre branding!
However, the sealed grilles and lack of any detail whatsoever on the dashboard and centre console makes this an easy pass for me ��

Thanks Guys, more on way. The biggest disappointment to this for me is as Chaim said, the lack of any detail whatsoever on the dashboard and centre console, poor effort. The outside does look really nice though. this could have been a jump back into the limelight if more effort was applied but a half good model is as good as it is.

Here are two (2) 1/12 trailers that are fantastic welcome additions. These are Laudo Racing 1/12 1950 ELLEBI LBA Trailers,Car Transporter,Silver(x2) Instead of just looking at the trailers i thought i would add two of the latest additions of 1/12 models to add visual stimulation. Also just bought but not received two sets of 3D printed shackles Ratchets and strap sets in 1/12 scale and also various accessories, so will be adding them to the trailers at a later date. Comes with a towing ball and fitting to add to a 1/12 model. Very pleased with these beauties and well worth the money. The Banana is for scale to show the size of these.

Here is the Brilliant looking BBR 1/12, 2016 Pagani Huayra BC in Metallic Blue. The camera can't quite show how good the Blue colour is, it's like a Chrome Blue and such a nice colour. Got such a Great service and the discount from Rob at Carmodelz. When you get a good price, service and Awesome model it's a pleasure to savour as not all goes smoothly in this game.

[_LamboNick_1990]

Looks very good in blue! Like I said, I prefer this above the white one

[StickShift]

Beautiful 1/12 you got there mate, you'd need to a new building to display all of these.

[T1000]

Fantastic stuff as always

[drivinghermad]

Thanks Guys, yes this is a fantastic colour, my favourite on any car and loving all the close up detail it has, very happy with this Beauty.

[mcaf123]

The blue really pops on this one!
As we discussed on Facebook, it looks like Peako has the BBR beaten on overall details but there's no doubt of the lovely shelf presence of the blue over the white

[drivinghermad]

Thanks Chaim, it's Amazing how you can have two of the same 1/12 model car by two different makers and love them, but differently, if that makes sense ? One for extra sharp  detail (Peako) and the other for the colour in this models case.

[mcaf123]

If only you could display them 😔
