Darren am I making it up or did they also make a large scale fully opening one?
Yes, I believe they offer 1:18 and 1:12

Based on the 1:8 they had previously released i would say they will make the Regera next in 1/12 ?

Here is the Top Marques 1/12, 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GTS(Convertible) in Black.
This is the third different 1/12th Ferrari Dino i have and the combination of black and red interior makes this really stand out, a Great looking addition.

Such a lovely car! One I appreciated later in life... As for the model, the interior is too plastic looking for my liking.

Thanks, definitely plastic interior but it doesn't look too bad to me, it has nice detail to it. Of course real Leather would have been a good material to have used like CMC on their 1/18 beauties but looks very nice overall.

Just released and here is the OTTO 1/12, 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth MK5, in Imperial blue. A few have said they don't like this and it has not been copied correctly with many mistakes, which is true but what i have in front of me is such a Great looking model-as is-with mistakes and all. I personally love this, maybe because it was my era of car or just happy that one has been made in 1/12th i don't know but i hope that OTTO see this to make more Cosworth 1/12 models in the future. Selling 999 of them so quickly shows just how popular 1/12th is and model collecting in general is. This could open the door to hopefully many more 1/12 surprises in future here's hoping.

Nice add. I never understood the fuzz about this car, never something I personally appreciated. Maybe if I grew up in the UK :)

Thank you, it had a big following in the UK until thieves made it their favourite target and made these uninsurable. It was famous as Jeremy Clarkson famously had to get rid of his as insurance was i think from memory more than the car was worth, if someone can clarify. Still a Drool motor in the UK.

It sounds like the MKII Golf GTI 2.0 16v here in Canada. The BBS wheels and Recaro seats!! :D

Fantastic model, I wish I grabbed OTTO's 1/18 scale version but missed out.

I learned to love this Escort RS Cosworth here in the US because of rallying, despite rallying not being so popular at that time here. There also just so happens to be a legally imported one in my state, one of very few which were sent to the US in the 90s, which I got to see a few times.

Just goes to show certain cars have select countries that know about them or have ever had them officially imported. You just don't see them now in the UK so to see one in the US is such a Honour. It would turn heads now as it is a cult classic and talking to younger members of my family they know of this car too so different generations are aware of these beauties from the past.

Here is a Cheap but well worth the £40 all in i paid on Amazon. It's the Rastar 1/12, 2022 Ferrari F1-75 RC Car, in Red. It's the one Charles LeClerc and Carlos Sainz drove. You have to put around 60 stickers on it but i really enjoyed doing that. Yes it's a RC but no one else is making this in 1/12 and for the price it's a very good model. Rastar have been bringing out a few 1/12th model that no one has made in RC and i have been adding them to go along side other more expensive 1/12th and i have to say side by side these hold their own and look really well, highly recommended.
