Vintage 1/43 Models

I used to collect 1/43 F1 mini champs when I was a teenager. Still have them tucked away. What’s a good 1/43 line for Ferrari road cars?

 

Your collection looks great! I now have many more 1:43 hand builts for sale. Many are quite rare. I have to prepare an updated list.

 

Hey Andre, I have about 100 old 1/43 scale Ferraris that I will be selling. I've had them in a display for 20+ years and I have all the original boxes. Some of them are super rare.

 

Nice collection, reminds me mine...

 

I will do that.

 

Some here before I organised them all.

Looks like a lot of hand built models. Nice collection.

 

everything was hand built
550 models, 20 of them built up kits, because there was no factory model

collection started with
Alfa Romeo Bimotore / P3
815 Auto Avio short / long tail
125 Sport / Spyder Corsa
159 Sport / Spyder Corsa
and ended in 1999
I had everything you could get
except cars like König, Gemballa, Replicas and so on
and some cars from the 2000 - SP1 / SP 12 / P4/5 / 550 GTZ / Rossa / GG50 /

today I have around 50 models in 1/18

formula 1 / formula 2 / formula libre / prototypes
have a look at the third shelf - front row - not a single F1 car - only exotics

The advantage of the 1:43rds is the range of selection.

If I have a version at 1:18 or 1:24th I would not purchase a 1:43.
the exception being a few purchased from owners of say, a street car they owned like Daytona

Bang, Brumm, Best and as mentioned MiniChamps
No idea if the still are in business but as I was buying those were major brands in the !;43 market.

 

Will you let me know?
