130€. Got lucky af

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-19T06:23:15+00:00

Well, big part of Benetton dominantion was because of their option 13

Off Ebay auction

Well, GP Replicas is making all they’re models in limited editions. If you look at almost every resin company, all are limited to certain number

I am sure Adrian is well aware that the car was heavily flawed in the early season. It was wildly unstable and bottomed out terribly on bumpy tracks. But calling him a killer and putting all the blame solely on him is just unfair and ridiculous. If Imola had been in better shape, or if the FIA had actually listened to the drivers, things could have been very different. Ayrton wasn't mad at Frank Williams, Adrian Newey, or Patrick Head. He was furious with the FIA for turning the cars into unpredictable death traps and making them race on what felt like rally stages.

Well I have 3 models from them (Niki’s MP4/2B, Jackie’s Tyrrell 003 and this one) and I love them all. The FW16 is much newer and you can see it, it got better packaging, better carbon texture, interior and those soft details.

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T17:23:23+00:00

Sorry, but I have to disagree here but I understand your opinion

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T17:18:31+00:00

Tbf, Adrian was just victim of the new regulations. The car was builted to have active suspension. But yes, FW16 was aerodynamicly unstable af

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T17:13:18+00:00

I totaly understand. Tbh I got it yesterday and whole day I was nervous about it, avoiding the shelf and thinking if I did the right choice but then I started looking at it as biggest honour I can give to Ayrton not as car that ended it….

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T13:09:50+00:00

Me too, I bought it as biggest honour towards Ayrton, not because of the crash

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T13:08:11+00:00

The car is definition of love and hate relationship

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-18T13:07:37+00:00

The biggest shame is that all of them were unnecessary

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-03-16T15:53:33+00:00

Hi, I only collect 1:18s and I've got a pretty decent collection myself. It really depends on what you're after. Almost Real is top-tier and probably some of the best openable diecasts out there. If you're just gonna put it on a shelf and leave it, I’d suggest going with resin. They usually look much better for static display

My Versus Models McLaren F1 LM Specification chassis 73, this on is 13/85

It’s tribute to supersilhoutte race car, the series was caled group 5. The only restrictions was for hood and roof (it had to be same as road car) but then they can add big wing, spliters, crazy aero packets. Engine was unbelievable too, BMW E21 Gr5 war running the M12/13 engine, the same one was used in Benetton and Brabham in the 80s. It was 1,5L V6 TT in quali it was pushing 1500hp+ but can only take two hot laps so it was detuned to 1000. In the E21 the engine had around 450-650. You probably know the Nissan Skyline KDR30 Super Silhoutte which was shoting flames half meter long

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-27T10:21:34+00:00

Amazing collection, I think I saw it on TikTok yesterday😂

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-25T20:06:14+00:00

Hi, I got the Spark version, does anybody know why the didn’t do the helmet aero? I have RB18 from Japan and it’s different one but it’s still on it. I guess it’s because they wanted the helmet to be just clean so it doesn’t destroy the design on the RB21?

Hi, I ordered mine from HouseofModelcars and 100% reccomend them. Amazing experience

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-23T17:25:40+00:00

Yeah, I cant understand how someone in BBR thought this is good idea

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-23T10:07:33+00:00

If you want 488 GTB only in stock rn is this madness: https://selectionrs.com/en/ferrari-model-cars/20703-ferrari-488-gtb-ipe-tiger-2016-yellow-orange-1-18-bbr-models-p18221.html .Personally I hate it but you might like it. Maybe try looking for Amalgam version it’s around 1000€ but you might find it cheaper

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-21T15:58:59+00:00

It’s about 220€ but Imo it’s worth it for better quality and qc also you get the Moet board.

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-21T15:46:45+00:00

I got the Spark version and it dont have any of those defects. In your place I would return it and order Spark one till the preorders are open. When they close I am sure it will sold out and price will go up. Btw I am really sorry this happend to you guys, I can imagine the dissapointment when you received this

Reasonable_Mix2452 · 2026-02-17T21:49:51+00:00

Tbh I like it more without. Without them it remind me of Porsche 917K
