1:43 Concept Car collection

[leyang662]

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the forum but I've been a collector for a while and wanted to share.

I specifically collect 1/43 scale concept car models from a variety of brands, including: Norev, TrueScaleMinatures, Looksmart, AutoArt, Avenue43, TopMarques, and others I am probably forgetting.

As a car designer (currently working at VW group), concept cars always fascinate me since they represent "what could have been". They are great sources of inspiration, and hope others on the forum share my particular fascination!

Hi, welcome! You have an awesome collection sir, thanks for sharing. From one who loves concepts, though only collects 1:18 scale I am envious of the depth that is available in 1:43.

Thanks you! Glad I can be part of the community. I’ve definitely thought of collecting 1:18 too since there’s some concepts I really want that are exclusive to that scale, but with a smaller apartment and a budget it’s been good restraining myself for now.

It is insane what a breath of assortment with 1:43. On many occasions I thought about moving to the scale.

What really got me into collecting at this scale was Norev. They make so many decent models of French cars at this scale that it was hard not to find a model I was looking for. And all for a decent budget.

Good job
I personally admire any focused collection.

Norev is GREAT for this hobby! Good value and more than decent executed replicas

Sir that is beautiful! I only have a handful of those in 1:18 scale

[leyang662]

Ooooo nice, which ones?

[[KRAFTIG]]

The green Alfa, both Audis, both BMWs, the Maybach, the Peugeot, the Bugatti, and Citroen

[leyang662]

Whoa that's a good bunch. I think out of them I would love the BMW next 100 and Bugatti in 18/th scale. Really see those details.

One of the themes I kept in my collection is concepts, about 50 in my collection, all 1:18

Finally got my hands on the GT3 edition of the Mazda Vision concept. I just might like me some Mazda's
