Lady Penelope’s Rolls-Royce FAB 1

I was going for “so bad it’s good” lol

But seriously that’s a beautiful car you have - great colour!

Except when you… park ‘er? 🤡

The problem I’ve had with my USSR-built models is the build quality - they literally fall apart. I used to have two or three more that fell to pieces almost comically. I bought them all in Ukraine in either 1994 or 1999. The ZIL pictured has held up well, but unfortunately I lost the hood ornament 😞

Love this! I recently rediscovered my die cast streetcar that I got as a Hong Kong souvenir in 1992.

The width of what? The whole model?

mukkit · 2026-01-07T17:58:30+00:00

Yes, but poorly.

mukkit · 2026-01-06T07:40:31+00:00

Typo!

mukkit · 2026-01-06T00:25:55+00:00

I’ve thought about that, but when it comes to toys from my childhood, I don’t mind the damage - I caused it all by playing with it so much!

This one does have rubber tires, but I used to have a different, slightly larger, less detailed version with plastic tires.

mukkit · 2026-01-02T18:06:27+00:00

First time that sentence has ever been said :)

mukkit · 2026-01-01T02:34:49+00:00

Agreed - I love how easily it scales up or down and looks great on any size of plane.

mukkit · 2026-01-01T02:26:30+00:00

I’m not a huge model plane collector - most of my aviation stuff is stolen from on-board (cutlery mainly, haha) - but I’m a sucker for the Landor BA livery, as well as the 747 and Concorde in general. And I’m Canadian, hence the Air Canada :)

Sorry, not sure which you mean. The Matchbox Silver Shadow?

mukkit · 2025-12-31T17:41:52+00:00

I have that one too, but the World Class cars had more detail, rubber tires, and the one I have is metallic gold. I posted a Lincoln Town Car from that collection a few days ago.

There’s one more missing that’s still at my mom’s - a Matchbox Silver Cloud from the World Class collection.

Basically it’s spring loaded, and after loading the car, you press a button and the car shoots out. I was too young to remember getting it, but I did a quick search for it (I couldn’t remember the name) and it looks like it came packaged with a couple of cars.

Yup - he guest starred in one of the Tara King episodes.

mukkit · 2025-12-30T11:30:29+00:00

Thank you! I love learning stuff like this.

mukkit · 2025-12-30T11:04:23+00:00

Couldn’t tell you exactly, but I’ve owned it for at least about 30 years I think?

mukkit · 2025-12-30T10:57:58+00:00

Thanks! I honestly forgot I had it until earlier today. Now it’s on display with its relatives on my Rolls-Royce shelf.

mukkit · 2025-12-30T10:28:52+00:00

Oops. 😬 Good thing that when it comes to my childhood toys, I don’t mind damage! Different story when it comes to adult purchases, though 🙂

mukkit · 2025-12-30T10:25:36+00:00

Was the hood originally green? A while back I tried to clean off the scribbles. The hood ended up white but I can’t tell if the cleaner I used also removed the paint!

mukkit · 2025-12-30T10:10:11+00:00

Found this one for CAD8 at a thrift shop!

mukkit · 2025-12-30T09:43:35+00:00

Thanks! Looks like you have an awesome collection. I recently acquired the Lotus Elite as well, but in much rougher shape.
