Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection

[rusel1978]

Hi, All.

I am collecting super, sport and american muscle cars only in 1:18. I am collecting about 5 years. I started with simple models like BBurago, Maisto, Yatming, etc., but after 2 years I completely sold all models and started next stage of collection with better models AutoArt, CMC, BBR, Kyosho, TCM, GMP ...

This is the current view of my collection:

Very nice collection! Really like your display too

[azzunix]

Nice collection and welcome

[Philip]

Lovely collection of Japanese classics, amongst all the rest. The Porsche Martini transporter is huge!

[rusel1978]

Thanks to all! I am starting to show some models from collection. If someone interesting any specific model than can ask, I have pictures for all models. Lets start from my latest acquisitions.

Porsche 934 RSR #9 Vaillant by Schuco. Very good effort from Schuco and good alternative to Exoto. I wanted this 934 RSR in Vaillant livery for a long time and price for Exoto model in same livery is enough big now. So I decided to try Schuco and was satisfied with this model. The main issue of this model are decals. I don't know why they didn't use tampo printing ... but from some angles looks not so good. Also Exoto have removal wheels, metallic bottom, better quality of front brakes cooling system. However Schuco have really working suspension and even keys in the ignition. Lets see photos.

[[KRAFTIG]]

Very cool! The keys in the ignition is some what of Schuco trademark of sorts. Did the actual race car use keys though?

[rusel1978]

Did the actual race car use keys though?

Good question ... looks so:

[rusel1978]

Another good model is Bugatti EB110 GT by AutoArt. I like this Bugatti and had some years ago model from BBurago, this was not bad for price in 30$ and now AutoArt released this Bugatti. Very good quality ... as usual from AutoArt in Signature serie. Model contains 346 separate parts, not so heavy, just 0.68 kg. Looks nice, I especially waited blue color. Model have good detailed head and rear lamps, working rear spoiler, nicely detailed engine and interior. The seats are fantastic, looks like real, imitation of leather looks realistic.

[[KRAFTIG]]

A decent effort from AUTOart, though I don't believe it needed a 'Signature' badge. It seems there is a lot more plastic to this model than metal. Its much larger than the Hennessey Venom GT but the Hennessey Venom GT out weights it, and the overall execution is more refined on the Hennessey Venom GT.

I agree, but in any case looks nice and no alternative. Also I forgot to say about suspension, this is not working ... I don't understand Autoart at all, they doing fully working suspension for more cheaper models, for example Jaguar E-Type and do plastic imitation for Bugatti 110 or Venom ...

[Philip]

I'm tempted by the Shuco RSR. It seems a viable (and cheaper!) alternative to Exoto's version. Don't know what's going on with the plug leads, though. The 934 is a flat six, yet seems to have eight plug leads?! Unless the other lead is a sensor, although on the TSM version there are 6 leads.

Didn't know the Schuco 934 had decals! That changes things a bit. Not sure I want one now. That's strange though, are you sure? The one model I have by them - Cooper T53 - has tampos.

The EB110 has a few very well-placed photo-etch parts in the engine bay. There's lots of plastic, but that's a common theme lately. I say it still looks like a great model. As for the suspension, if it is too complex, Autoart will not replicate it under a certain price range.
