    Hi all, wanted to show you a pic of my 1:18 collection. I have used 4 different displays, that I have modified with hidden lightning. I am not so mad about details, so most of the models are from the middle class - Kyosho, Elite, Hot Wheels...

    The only models, that are not included in these displays are the 3 "special" models, that I also have (Scud and Maserati 3200) or had (F355) in the 1:1 scale :)

    Hope you like them.

    Awesome collection!

    It will look A LOT like mine! I have over 60 Ferrari road cars, all of them in red!

    *Except for one 308 GTB, the Paris Auto Saloon version*

    I have yet to display them, but I want cabinets like yours man. They used to sell the ones I wanted here in the Ikea shop, but they stopped making them.

    So I will have to find something else one day to display them. The Ikea ones looked a lot like your display cabinets.

    I have only collected the road cars and will keep collecting them as they make them.

    Here is a list of my 1:18 collection. I only collect them in 1:18 scale, only road cars and only in red.

    Thanks for sharing man, much appreciated.

    Here is a list of my collection-

    Thank you all for the kind words.

    These displays were really good for this purpose, the only issue was , that they only had 8 glass shelfs each, so I needed to order more shelfs and holders and of course to drill more holes for the additional holders.

    After that I added the black lines on the edges, that I have cut from vinyl. I made these to cover the lightning, that is made from LED tape.

    As for the collection - I don't like so much oldtimers, so I have bought just the ones I really like and that have most significant role in the Ferrari's history.

    I also don't collect open top models, except for the California (for obvious reasons) and also the 355, which I think is the best looking Spider in the world :)

    For the moment I only want to add a 488 and a FXX-K.

    Pap, your list sounds very impressive and it really is much like my theme. I can't wait to see it displayed.

    I think Kyosho has plans to re-release a few Ferraris, including the 512 TR, but in sealed resin version. Don't know what the price will be but I guess it should be cheaper than the out of production die cast version.

    Very nicely presented collection by the way! Yep, those Ikea Bertby cabinets are very cool and very unfortunate that they no longer make them.
