Ha. This is my first race car model in 15 years. I'm not a huge fan of them either as I could never get them to turn out right but I wanted a McLaren F1 car and all the diecasts are like 250$. This is a brand new kit this year that I picked up for 31 shipped from Hong Kong. The kit is beautiful and the fit is superb. I've spent the last few days putting all the carbon fibre decals on. Micro-sol solvent is a miracle product as it gets these to turn out spectacular.
Holy shit, I thought my diecast planes were expensive. Been doing diecast because I haven't had the patience to build a model. My F-22 looks cool though....
Die cast planes aren't too terrible. F1 just isn't very popular so everything has to come from overseas. I've seen some people who take DC planes and strip them and repaint and decal them and really make them nice.
Mmmmm Formula 1.
Not a model car fan but that looks pretty cool. Heck, with some work, that looks like it could end up being a starfighter.
