Re: 65 Corvette project
Great look! Reminds me of privateer B-Production racers back in the day.

Re: 1/18th Welly Porsche 997 GT3
Of course, you could always get a rear wing for your 1:1.

Re: 1/18th Welly Porsche 997 GT3
So here we go. Need to remove the rear decklid and wing, and replace the wheels with Ruf wheels to mimic my 1:1 I am waiting on the wheels to arrive. But the deck lid is going to be tricky, because I may need to remove the current one with wing and install one from another model with no wing. https...

Re: Do you keep the boxes?
Moving is my WORST nightmare! :doh: I did it once, from an apartment to my current house, which are about 45 miles apart. No way I was going to let gorilla-handed movers get close to my diecast, so I boxed them in batches and made about a dozen trips. And that was when I had about half the models I...

Re: Do you keep the boxes?
As a follow up to this, I retired in 2020, and have started downsizing my 1,000+ 1/18 scale diecast collection. Having all the boxes has been invaluable in selling and shipping.

Nice collection!
As an aside, I’d like to apologize to you for the disfunction of my government.
Best of luck and God Bless you and your country!

Re: Why would Maisto do this?
Just a quick internet search, and I found the model on Amazon. Interesting that the promo picture shows the doors functional. https://www.amazon.com/Maisto-Assembly-Chevrolet-Corvette-Stingray/dp/B09TN6XCYP https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_849526-T2/images/I/61L+Eq2ueFL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

Re: ACME Kowalski Challenger Wheel Swap
Great job! If I'm honest, I like the other wheels better. I'm a road racer at heart, and vintage at that. Not really into the retro/street tuner vibe. Planning to put some racing livery on it. Sorry, so we're aligned its the image of the last two wheels I prefer. Ah, as well as being inept at inter...

Re: Question regarding numbers of limited editions Hot Wheels Elite
Was it Kevin on his Scale18 board?
If so, even though he kept the website up for the four or five “regulars”, the “big list” went the way of the Dodo bird.

Re: Question regarding numbers of limited editions Hot Wheels Elite
If the box gives a maximum number, I think you can be pretty assured that's how many they made.
If there's no specific number, especially for a model made that long ago, not sure if there's any source, other than the manufacturer, and even that might be a shot in the dark.

Re: ACME 1965 Shelby GT350R – Gulf Racing Tribute
Now, don't get me wrong, there's doing a fantasy model, and then trying to leverage two iconic themes into additional income with very little expense. "Oh, Wow! Another Gulf livery, I need that to add to my Gulf Camaro and Gulf Mustang racers (neither of which existed in real life)." "Oh, Wow! Anoth...
