Some great additions. Particularly like that first group.

Thanks! Yeah, I like those sorta obscure rally cars. Especially like the Kadett and seeing the extreme things they did to the Safari cars to make it to the end of the stage without issue.

wow! That couldn't have been easy to see through...though I suppose you could hit anything on those Safari Rallys.

Nice addition sir!

To be fair the model isn't entirely accurate in that regard. Looking at pictures of the real car it seems at least a little easier to see through. Can't complain too much about 1/43 accuracy, however.

Nice addition sir!

Thank you! Happy be collecting something other than Porsche for a change lol

1/18 Minichamps Ford Fiesta RS WRC. One of my rare non-Porsche buys in this scale.

Hey! Love addtions!!

[SPhilli911]

Awesome models! What scale and brand is the Puma? Really thinking about starting a 1/18 scale rally collection.

That Kyosho red & white Celica is outstanding. Who makes the white with red/green Celica?

[SPhilli911]

Did some searching, the top Celica (ST185) looks to be IXO and the Puma is Solido, both 1/18.

IXO Models. They didn't do a great job at all but since I am from Kenya and I know the driver personally, I had to have this car! I was there watching the 1993 Safari Rally

Yep, you're right. All are in 1:18.

Puma is Solido as I wanted the night race version. ST165 is Kyosho and ST185 is IXO Models

Well, that's the coolest thing ever! Seeing the Kenya rally is on my bucket list, but seeing it in the 90s has to be a wildly different experience than today's modern WRC.

funny...my whole family grew in Nairobi. My wife & I went their last June. An amazing trip of a lifetime.
