The Alfa Romeo Tipo 33s in all their incarnations is for me the biggest gap in the 1/43 vs 1/18 market. I would buy virtually all of the various concept cars and racers.

Sadly there is also a wealth of prototype Ferraris that haven't been subjected to the 1/18 treatment either.

Those two Vectors are absolutely stunning - far more captivating than the W8.

Whilst it is great looking at Andy's 'Scalani' and Jinx's 1/43 collections I have no desire to switch scales.

 

That Nardo roadster looks amazing! The 1/43 market get a lot,lot more choices than 1/18......I wish Autoart or Kyoho will do a 1/18 Spyker C8

 

Wow, did the Veyron steal the Hispano-Suiza HS21 design?

 

Out of all the above, probably the only one that would interest me is the Nardo.

And that Carabo, in that colour, sure looks....interesting.

Sorry Giamino the Carabo is a prototype (1 of 1) and was only built in this colour. It is seen as the father of the Lamborghini Countach as it shape was a large influence.

 

Thanks for the info Simon. Can definitely see the resemblance.

 

From that list, I would most like in my 1:18 collection:

Mitsubishi HSR I 1987 - my favorite HSR

Vector Avtech WX3 Concept 1992 Blue - as much as I love my W8, I wish I had any other Vector's in my collection. But my favorite Vector and one of my all time favorite cars is the Vector M12, which I would rather have than the W8 even. Love the blue color on the WX3.

Hispano Suiza HS21 2004 2000 Light Pearl Blue - first of all, the original HS21 is from 2000, not 2004, so this website is wrong. I have long wanted the original HS21 to go with my HS21-GTS, which was an upgraded HS21, although the HS21 looks way more like the Veyron. Would love it in that light blue color, but they also made a dark blue one for shows.

2004 Dilip Chhabria GO Yellow - DC is an Indian design firm with some really cool looking concept cars, the GO is my favorite, hopefully it can be India's first production supercar.

Lotus M250 1999 Blue - love the Lotus M250, wish it would have seen production.

That is pretty much it, there are a lot of other supercars I would like to see bumped up from 1:43 to 1:18, but those are made by LookSmart and companies like that.

 

There is just sooo many cars in 1/43 that I would like in 1/18 scale. Manufacturers should have a policy of making 1/18 models of cars if they get requested by customers more than 5-10 times. That would save the marketing department lots of time and effort, not to mention satisfy the urge of collectors lol.

 

some day... some day

 

Honestly - none of them

I'm happy in both scales - if it comes it 1/18 great, if it comes in 1/43 great

No need to switch scales - i just collect both

Looksmart made the Audi RSQ from the movie iRobot, and I would kill for that in 1/18.
