Next up is a model i had previously owned in this colour and when i saw it i wanted it back. It's the Kyosho Dealer Edition 1/12, 1999 BMW Z8 in Blue. Comes as a convertible or hard top and has fantastic detail and looks really well. Also comes with the infamous Kyosho rash too, although it's very light and you have to look closely to see it. I will get that out when i have more time. I put silicon over the plastic to rejuvenate it, forgot to wipe it off before taking photos so you may see residue on some photos. A really nice Kyosho classic and will go well with my two other colours of this, very nice.

This next model is so Awesome and although it has been shown many times this is my take on it. It's the Autoart 1/18, 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota in Purple. I am a Huge fan of this version in this colour and AA have hit the jackpot in my eyes with this. It's crying out to be made in 1/12th scale and whoever makes it first will have a big hit on their hands. Let me know what you guys think too.

I think I need to get one too don't have a Diablo yet 👀

 

[mcaf123]

I'm very jealous of that Z8! As you know, I was also bidding on it - it looks much nicer in blue than silver 🤤
Nice add with the Diablo......with the rate you're adding 1:18s, it might soon be time to move this thread to the multiscale section 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am very surprised, Nick !! Thought this would have been a hot buy for you. Get one before they dry up, well worthy of your Lambo Collection.👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks Chaim, i will leave the next Z8 to you for bidding
As for the 1/18th scale i have nearly caught up just a few more to get over time but a lot more 1/12th and the only scale i have eyes for 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Model of the year! I'll wait for non-Jota version, also in purple ... the best color.

A wise choice, i look to be adding that too in the Awesome Purple colour. will be interesting what everyone chooses and what will come out top.

Yes, I know, it is a missing piece, and they are highly desired. So now is the time to get one Anyway nice addition, congrats!

Great detailed shots of the Diablo! I didn't even notice some of the fine details on it from the other photos I've seen. I said it before, but me thinks this will a top contender for diecast of the year!

Thank you, it is indeed a model full of great detail and worthy of the MOTY from what i have seen ( I am biased towards this beauty, i already loved the car before this came out) I always try and get all angles in case i missed anything and doing it this way i have seen many times, like yourself, details that i didn't notice before.

I've been flat out at work & too tired to get on here in the evenings, so I have only just caught up. Loads of great adds there Darren!!

I love the VR bike, but it is a shame that it's too plasticy, Minichamps did the same one their 1/12 bikes, stopped having removable metal side fairings & switched out to fixed plastic ones. I don't buy them anymore.
The Zonda & Diablo look great! I love those!! I like the land speed record cars too, they are f***ing massive lol!!!!

Thanks Craig, really happy with what i have been buying lately, just getting down my list and got quite a few ticked off i thought would be really hard to find, someone must be watching over me LOL.

Next up is another record model i was so happy to add to my collection. It's the CMR 1/18 1938 Mercedes Benz W125 Streamliner in silver. This was broken in transit as can be seen in one of the photos as the piece you see came totally away from the body from where it was screwed down on the inside of it too much, along with a rough handling combined forcing it to break. I have glued it back as can be seen and it will do until i see a version that is good. Still a nice piece to look at though.
