These are the best--THE 1/12 CORR-VETTE TRIO.The Danbury mint 1/12 1956 corvette in blue,The Danbury mint 1/12 1957 corvette in black and the Revell 1/12 1958 corvette in red.If anyone from Danbury mint is reading this -THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MODELS YOU HAVE MADE.













































































































The Revell red corvette that is here has added pipework detail by me to stop it looking out of place with the other two.Just look at the windscreen wiper on the DM models they have a tiny spring under it to keep it to the windscreen.Brilliant stuff !!I forgot to say that Danbury mint 1/12 models have working lights, turn signals, brake lights and high beam, courtesy lights ,dashboard lights up.Darren.

Hi,yes the revell is a nice car and i think well worth the money -at the moment.There is a big difference in terms of quality and the finish of the models,but at this scale if that's the only one of that type that's available it has to be that.Everything goes then comes round again and when diecast becomes all the rage again the prices will go up and up !Keep a look out still some impressive ones to come.Darren.

Here we have GMP's 1/12 gt40 street car and racing cars.The copper coloured gt40 is a pre production model and has no serial number i think they made around six of these to give to the dealers to see what they thought of them before going into production.When this went into production the total production run for the copper one was 252 and the other gt40 was i think 100 or 150 of them.

Now we have the AUTOART 1/12 ford gt and the GMP 1/12 gt40 street car
There's no denying these are glorious models DHM - but are they REALLY the same scale/ scale accurate??


I had no idea there was SUCH a discrepancy in size....

This to me is a special one .The 100 year luxury gap,the 1/12 FM 1907 Rolls Royce,forward 100 years and the 1/12 PARAGON Bentley continental gt. Again these are stunning models-enjoy.
When i bought the rolls I was fortunate enough to have a photocopy of the tax disc for the Roll Royce.The gentleman who i bought it off was given the tax disc as a gift when he went to see the real car as a boy!The Bentley is non opening but is very detailed.

I am practically speechless Darren... The pick of this latest bunch would be that Roller... That is some stunning detail my friend....

I would but it would have to be a big cabinet
they are all ending up in the spare room for now.
.I think someone should open a big secure hall and let all of us show them off in that place,preferably near where i live. :giggle:The other half says my daughter wants her room back for her birthday on the 22nd cos they are all over the place what i havn't photographed yet.Looks like i shall have some juggling to do.
