Diecast Collection checklist

Hi,

Look on page 3, my list of models with scale. Yes the 500 F2 and 312 T2 are 1/16 from Polistil. The Rega 312B is 1/18 from Exoto, as 312 T4 and 641/2.

Good luck for your Eagles tires !!

Well you win some, you loose some:

I do have the Eagel tires on my Mansell car. That's cool.

But I also realized I don't have the Regazzoni car you're showing. That's also 1/18 right? Where could I find that one?

 

Anyone have the Schumacher/Alesi taxi with Alesi on the back of the Benneton? I've seen it on ebay for over $200US It's made by Minichamps and is 1/18.

 

Yes I have it but unfortunately for you, not for sale.... I bought it from a friend last summer for about 175$ without box. Very difficult to find below 200$...

Hi,

Yes, that's cool. What is the serial number below the car. I ask this because it may be possible to have replicas, I mean people re-painting the wheels, must not be too difficult. Thus, the s/n should be low. Mine is around 70-80, I do not remember, possibly A0079.

You can probably find the Rega on Ebay, but I checked now, there is none and it is probably one of the rarest 312B. I was incredibly lucky to find this one in a shop that buy old diecast models and someone sold him an important collection of Ferrari for VERY cheap. Therefore I could buy this (without box) for around 65$ !!! So, patience, everything happens if you take time.

Ooops, sorry, I think you are speaking about the Polistil 312B3, not Exoto 312B of Regazzoni.
The polistil sometimes appears on Ebay, but rarely with Regazzoni (that I paid 30$ about 10 years ago).

Ciao
Greg

 

I'll check the s/n tonight. Probably low as well as I bought it right when it came out. Hence no figure.

I just realized that the 312B3 from Rega is 1/16 scale according to your list. So I won't have to worry about finding it. I'm strictly 1/18.

 

Hi all, let's go on with special models

512 BB from Kyosho with unusual color. I know it was distributed in Belgium and Italy but I don't know anywhere else.

 

275 GTB4 ERTL and 365 Daytona spyder Giodi with unusual colors (but original, not modified)

 

250 GT berlinetta SWB chassis 2787, basis Jouef, I modified it a few years ago to the actual configuration of the car, i.e. in the Tour de France livery but without race number and pilot names.

275 GTS/4 spyder NART, 1 of 10, chassis 9437, basis ERTL.

275 GTS4 spyder NART, 9 of 10, chassis 10749, basis ERTL

 

275 GTS4 spyder NART, 10 of 10, chassis 11057, basis ERTL. I have another one in blue (10691), but not very good...I would like to built all 10, but this a lot of work and pictures are missing.

 

all 3.

 

Koenig testarossa spider competition. basis Burago Testarossa & F40. Not very well done, especially painting, but it was my first serious model.

You got quite the Ferrari collection gaggi. Do you modify them yourself?

 

Yes I modified them but now i don't have enough time to continue. I must say that they look better on pictures than in realty, I'm not very skillful for painting and don't have a hood or an airbrush, so I did them with normal color sprays, except the light yellow spyder NART which was done by a friend with an airbrush.

 

Where do you get the wire rims from?

 

OK, for the 250 TR 59, it is wire wheels from firma SMS. I found them once on Ebay and saw them once in a shop in Switzerland for about 45-50$.
For the others, I built them, using a very thin wire, taking as outside wheel, a 288 GTO or 250 GTO wheels. Crazy work !! The number of wires is the same as the original Borrani, but the center of the wheel is a way too big.

Gaggi, I modify my cars myself too and a spray can is about the highest form of tech I use myself. The cars look good on FChat's 640x480 resolution, but aren't that great up close.


Nice job on that Koenig F40. Die Koenig actually ever do that to a real F40?

I checked my Mansel F1 and its s/n is A1564.

 

That's not an F40, it's a Koenig Testarossa, isn't it?

 

yes it's a Testarossa Koenig!
