Do you own a model of your car?

[HomerJHandley]

Just wondering? I have bought a Eunos Roadster and will spray it so it is as similar to my car (MX-5) as possible.

So have you bought a model just because it is the same as your car?

Actually I have every 1:1 version of all my models. Someday if you ever make it to California I will take you for a ride in my Porsche GT1. Just kidding. My wife has a Mitsubishi Eclipse

So when HPI released a 2K eclipse body, I had to get one. Here is what it used to look like.

It died a fast death attached to my NRS4R2. On my first run, I flipped it and put a huge scrape on the roof. Eventually it got so banged up I ended up throwing into the recycle bin. It is now enjoying it's new life as a soda pop bottle.

Noe really but I would really really like to have a AH Sprite MK.1 (Frogeye) bodyshell for my M-01 (will convert to M-02). Also, if I'll get a XC chassis I woul;d really look out for a LR Defender 90 body... Love the one on Theo's site. []

So the search is on for a Frogeye... Anyone knows one that's up to scale to fit the M? [8D]

I have made a 1:24 static from Revell (unfortunatelly Tamiya doesnt make it []) as my car, only mine aint a M3 [], was hard to mix a similar colour but the result wasnt bad...

Also made a 1:24 of my dads car, have a similar on hood pic but cant find it []

Enough crying for today now [][]

I just sold a Toyota Hilux.

It was the same kind as the Mountaineer.

Belive me, the 1:1 gearboxes are ****.

The big one was sold for something sensible[]

Now why didn't that work?

Anybody know where I can get a 1/24 kit or a 1/10 lexan shell of a 1978 ford supercab 4wd? How about a kit or shell of a USA merkur xr4ti? Would also need a kit or shell for a datsun 810 coupe. Im pretty sure there isnt a kit or shell for any of the above. But, if there was,, I'd like to have all three!

Still looking for a Toyota AE86 Levin/Sprinter body for one of my cars to go with the 1:1 rusting in the driveway... ABC Hobby in Japan do them, but REALLY expensive to get here...

Needs to look something like this...

Dont know much about US cars, but if merkur xr4ti is what was sold in Europe as Sierra XR4, I remember there existed a 1:24 from Tamiya.

I own a Clio and have a Clio Williams 58138. Its the closest i could find. I also saw a 1:1 Ford F100 the other day (Midnight Pumpkin) with orange flames and loads of chrome. Stuck out like a sore thumb in Wolverhampton. I nearly crashed my car while looking at it (i was driving) Now that would be a sweet 1:1 to own

I finally managed to buy myself my Boxster last year (no kids and a tiny mortgage... I guess that won't last!) and so I got myself the Tamiya one.

I built it on a M04L chassis though because it is more interesting than the M02.

Unfortunatley my real one is just grey with black trim... would love to have the same paintjob as my Tamiya one (http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=10469&id=396&vb=t [}])
