    Hi guys,

    Three weeks ago I went to a friend's house to take pictures of his mini collection; mostly 250 GTO in 1/12 and 1/18; customized by Alexandre Py (Apycars). There are a lot of models in now long gone liveries.

    You may enjoy the pictures here if you wish so:

    (and for reference, I also posted a lot of pictures of the 12 GTO I already met here
    http://arthomobiles.fr/GTO/gto.htm)

    cheers!

    nice models ....IMO the distressed versions (with body grime and damages) would look better if the wheels also showed dirty, and the engine too (both show clean against dirty body work)

    I have the 1/12 Revell 250 GTO, but I am waiting to locate a few things before I do the break down and rebuild. I hope to soon get the wheels from Scaledetails when I get the money. I also am looking for the engine transkit. I have a lot of the other transkits, but those are the two that I know will be the hardest for me to get. I'm waiting to finish up my studies and get a job before I fork out the money.

    Congrats great models you have got. I see they are mostly from Apycars. Does this company still exist?
