Very nice! Any plans to add an R18?

Since you normally post the models in order of year/generation, I had to look up the left most one because I thought the R8 was the first Audi prototype. I had no idea until this moment the R8R was a thing. Not only that but a closed cockpit version, the R8C raced at the same time. Crazy, never heard of them.
Thanks! I stopped at the R15 for a couple reasons:

1. I liked the open top Prototypes better
2. these were all relatively cheap (Maistos & Norevs). Spark is the only one to make the R18, & it isn't a car I like enough to pay that much for.

That's correct about the R8R/R8C. I always thought it was interesting that Audi raced both. The R8C was then used as the basis for the Bentley EXP Speed 8, which won Le Mans the year that Audi didn't race (2003).

Makes sense to me and those 4 prototypes look great together, no need to add the R18 if you aren't into it as much.

Ah, the Bentley EXP Speed 8. That's a legendary car, shame Bentley stepped away from Le Mans since then.

I do have the Moby Dick Solido, but neither of those above are the Moby Dick.

1976 934 #55 by Minichamps
1976 935/76 #40 by Norev

Both are sealed, by the way. Here is the 1981 Solido Moby Dick 935/81 (doors open).

I like how yours already has the red side skirts and front lip. I had to remove black paint from mine

That was one of the updates from the Testarossa (yours) to the 512TR (mine). Not my style, but I have to say, that looks good!

The wheel choice is not final. But it's based on these inspirations

I'm also thinking about repainting it into a light blue. Would go well with the light interior. Then again I really like it in red. Sigh, I don't know
