brammy777 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 My astramax is a reddish colour, ill post pictures when it comes.The omega is actually gama! And i have bids on 2 other gama models right now, a Kadett E Estate (in Liebherr Livery, hopefully lowers the amount people could want it)and an Astra MKIII estate.And i have my eye on a MKIII Senator as well..............

MrRegieRitmo Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 I thought Gama had only done the Opel equivalent of the GSI 3000? I have one in red but also a black Minichamps one which isn't easy to come by. The Minichamps one appears to be like an Opel Lotus Carlton. I want the model of an actual Lotus Carlton though which Spark have recently released 8)I've got a Kadett E estate in a company livery, probably in the same Liebherr colours!

brammy777 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ah, you might be right, im only saying what the item description told me!These new spark and Neo models look really good, im half tempted to buy one just to fill some holes.I was going to wait for the Kadett E by minichamps but that seems to have fallen off the radar, like the IXO MKII granada.Shame really.

CortinaDave Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Always wanted a mk4 Cortina model, but apart from the old matchbox job and a not very good but £££££ model by lansdowne, i've never seen one. Until i spied this on ebay, now winging its way to me! Looks a bit weird with clear front indicators and side repeaters (which they didnt have) but better than nowt!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Is that cos it's a Taunus? Looks ok though...let us know what you think when you receive it. Can I ask how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Does anyone do a K11 Micra diecast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Is that the first bubble one? I have one made by a company called Doorkey which is a reasonable model. I think a model K10 would be more interesting though & I've never seen one of those! EDIT: mine is just like the red one I believe, although I don't have the model nearby. This picture has reminded me that I've got the Serena as well!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how much?I dont think the tornarse had side repeaters/clear indicators either, although I could be wrong! cost eleven quid plus postage so not bad. I see Lansdowne are now doing a Ghia Estate mk4, looks good.. no way I'd pay 60 notes for it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWPowered Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 wow about £59.50 out of my budget :othat shockingly expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortinaDave Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yup.. and to me they dont look as good as minichamps or vanguards stuff. This is the mk4 they do.. looks good, but in a ten quid sort of a way, not 60!  Makes you wonder who actually buys them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 £60 is a snip compared to some lansdowne stuff... http://toys.shop.ebay.co.uk/Diecast-Veh ... op=3&_sc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have been extremely tempted by landsdowne stuff, particularly the cortina estate but i dont know when ill ever have that sort of money.I have ordered a 1300 Marina and a Minichamps MK1 escort recently.Whats the best MKII escort model to get?

MrRegieRitmo Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't have any of the Minichamps MkIIs yet but have several of the ones by Trofeu in various specs / colours. They are a nice model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have one already by trofeu, a 1100 or 1300 popular.Its a nice model indeed, i would like a Sport one though too! Or an RS2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Makes you wonder who actually buys them!!Impatient people who put having an example, any example, of a particular car above waiting for a more accurate detailed miniature at a sensible price!
