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 !! Greg
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$... Ciao Greg
Hi, Yes, that's cool. What is the serial number below the car. I ask this because it may be possible to have replicas, I mean people re-painting the wheels, must not be too difficult. Thus, the s/n should be low. Mine is around 70-80, I do not remember, possibly A0079. You can probably find the Rega on Ebay, but I checked now, there is none and it is probably one of the rarest 312B. I was incredibly lucky to find this one in a shop that buy old diecast models and someone sold him an important collection of Ferrari for VERY cheap. Therefore I could buy this (without box) for around 65$ !!! So, patience, everything happens if you take time. Ciao Greg
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.
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 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.
Koenig testarossa spider competition. basis Burago Testarossa & F40. Not very well done, especially painting, but it was my first serious model.
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.
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. Ciao Greg
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.
