Drivinghermad collection Mostly 1/12 and Larger

[Drivinghermad]

Thanks again Guys,yes it is a really nice model and as you say Sharp fits it nicely.I must admit i was disheartened when i first saw the rear wing off it but i took my time and you wouldn't be able to notice it had broken if you saw it up close now.I half expected parts to fall off as it has a lot of delicate wings on it and having bought from Italy before i know how previous models have been treated by their postal service,turned out well in the end.

I would LOVE to buy this if you were ever thinking of selling it!
It would take pride of place in my front room, I would even replace the Tv with it! How much would it take to part from it?! You could always come visit her whenever you like too!

wow!! 1/12 is certainly a menacing looking scale! I'd love to have many of the models shown but the sheer size and cost would be extremely prohibitive.. keep up the great collection and looking forward to your next purchases!

[Drivinghermad]

Sorry Rick it's not for sale,i was lucky to get it myself as they dried up faster than a Cinnamon Challenge.I have seen a white 1/12 version that is equally as nice that is about to come out so keep your eyes peeled for that version from HK sellers off the bay.

Thanks Spanner,they are like you say,costs and the size of the boxes for storage are a lot bigger than the 1/18 models,really Great to see up close though.

Hi Rickstaaar,you may be in luck.
Littlebolide have a few for sale of the 1/12 Huracan you wanted now on ebay,item number 152473368361
Don't hang around too long as they are wanted models,all the best Darren.

Up next is the Premium Classixxs 1/12 1957 Citroen DS19 in Cream/Black.This is a very nice looking model and has some quirky detail to it which i like and also tiny parts that are easily knocked off so must be handled with extreme care.

Very nice! Not my cup of tea though. Are you getting the Porsche 356?

[Drivinghermad]

Thank you,it has an acquired taste to it and goes well the SM a few posts back.I have plans to get the 356 but i have a lot to pay out on models and me helping my Daughter out with her car insurance etc,expensive time,you will see in a few months what i have been paying for with the models i have bought from a collector,i had the pick of his HUGE collection and went overboard,the ones now are extras LOL.

The next in line is a Great looking model,a mini Corvette for Europe if you like,it's the Premium Classixxs 1/12 1971 Opel GT Red.It has a Great shape to it and is a worthy addition better than i thought it would be.

[spanner]

I'd love to have an Opel GT in my collection! seeing my father had one many years ago.. But I'd want one in 1:18 scale with opening parts. I think Minichamps have one yes?

[[KRAFTIG]]

Very nice. Definitely a lot of Corvette in this one.

[Drivinghermad]

I don't know about 1/18 scale so couldn't tell you if Minichamps made a version ?
Thanks Kraftig,it is a nicely shaped model with curves in all the right places LOL.

This next model is a Fantastic buy and near faultless finish to it,it's the GT Spirit 1/12 2013 Porsche 918 Spyder with the Weissach Package in Matt black/Martini Livery.This is the Nurburgring Record run car that did it in 6:57 mins and 179.5km/h.All i know is it is a Beautiful model.I have four of these 918's in 1/12th (Tungsten Grey,RSR,White with Martini Livery)and this has to be the best buy of them all.It looks so right with the Matt Black and Martini Livery mix along with gorgeous wheels and the CF is Fantastic too.The erect rear spoiler just adds a different look to it(and in a good way)If you are thinking of getting a 1/12 Porsche 918 i can give no higher praise than for you to get this version which is the German Dealer Special,it really is a very nice model.I think it is worthy of the extra photos i have added,very nice.

Delicious! What's this Weissach Package all about?

[Drivinghermad]

This is a cool model.The German Dealers who are selling this have chosen well.
Just got this off the net about the Weissach Package

" The Weissach package is an optional, high-performance upgrade over the standard 918 Spyder model. The package features the use of more carbon fibre components, magnesium wheels and aerodynamic improvements. "
