Datsuncog Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Love a challenge, me! And fair play to @morrisoxide for guessing the Corgi Ferrari in the original pic - I was sure it was a Hot Wheels too. Excellent diecast spottage skills! bunglebus and morrisoxide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'm getting a bit excited about models of the Simca/Chrysler/Talbot 1307/8/1510/150/Alpine and I'm waiting for my Mira example to arrive in the post. I bought an absolutely delightful Joal model from someone on here about 3 years ago (can't remember who now). I had just dug out my Solido example and noticed that they looked very similar. So similar, that one is undoubtably a copy of the other: Only the door mechanism differs: I think the Joal is the copy as the casting is a wee bit rougher. However the superior tyres and true to scale suspension deflection makes it one of my favourites. I also love that it's painted up like its 1991. andrew e, AndyW201, Remspoor and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could have been me, I’ve certainly got an Alpine . Not sure of the make but I thought it was badged as a Simca , I think I bought an 1100 and a 1000 at the same time. The Simca 1000 is in fact amongst my top 5 favourite models that I own. Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justwatching Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 1983 Ford LTD Crown Victoria in 1:64 by Greenlight. Uncertain about the livery. It appears in Terminator 2 at the Pescadero State psychiatric prison facility. I assume it's a security vehicle(?) as the livery isn't seen again on any other police car. Shame the wheels sit a little wide. Can't have too many Crown Vics though. AndyW201, RayMK, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the wheels sit a little wide. Can't have too many Crown Vics though. That’s the only thing that would put me off that, the wheels sitting about 4ft (scale) out of the arches. These cars the wheels sit quite far inbound of the arches. I wish there were more 1/18 versions of the crown vic in this body. I have the green light p71 in Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

bunglebus Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 In the mean time here are a couple of arrivals. I was idly scrolling through eBay under Superkings and found this - I'd no idea there was a transporter for the Road Blasters series, thankfully it was badly listed so no-one else bid. It's not perfect but can't be very common? Has the working steering too. Next up is this less than spot-on Spot-On I didn't actually check that the glass was available as a replacement part - the almost-always broken bumpers certainly aren't so resto will require some head scratching. Still, not an easy thing to find at an affordable price. Lastly is this K54 AMX Javelin that looks better than my current one sutty2006, warch, Remspoor and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warch Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That Roadblasters thing is awesome, ten year me would have loved that in 1987 (although tbh 45 year me still quite likes it in 2022). Hadn't realised it was a computer game tie in, Mad Max was hugely influential back in the 80s, so I assumed it was intended to cash in on that. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The only 1/18 I can find for the panther body crown vic is an estate/wagon/long roof. Someone really needs to make the saloon version. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having dragged out the old laptop and booted it up, it seems you kindly bought a fair few Solido and similar 1/43 French tat from me four years ago, as part of the fire-sale clearout of diecast to raise funds for the Forester after my Phase 1 Laguna carked it on the motorway. Seems that this one was badged as a Talbot 150, going by the bootlid. And the baseplate. Welp, looks like there's some in circulation closer than Spain, then - hopefully @Split_Pin can track one down for the collection! (I bought this one from an antiques shop in Arundel c.2003 - goodness knows how it ended up there...)
