Diecast models

These are the biggest models in my collection and the most expensive.

Both models are 1/12 th scale

I thought I'd be different and pull apart a couple of them for specific purposes, ie: mechanics working on them, etc.

Here are a couple of pics as they sit in my office






and of course, the hard earned diploma!

Great pictures,the Kyosho Cobra on the trailer looks like its still in one piece,more expensive to pull apart than the Yat - Ming models....

It really is a "get what you pay for" deal, although you can sometimes luck into a good price on eBay. Here are three of the 1:18 Exoto models I've picked up: first racing Cobra, a Mk II GT40 and a Mk IV. The last one is a distressed model I saw at the Auto Fair in Charlotte. Didn't get it, but I'll second what BJ said that collecting these models is addictive, but not nearly as expensive and the full-size models.

Here's a shameless plug for my employer, who happens to have a special diecast auction going on this week which focuses on muscle cars and exotics. There are even a few Shelby's and Cobra's crossing the virtual auction block.

Click on the "Salute to Scottsdale" banner on the front page, or type in "Cobra" or "Shelby" in the search field:

We've also got some of the 1/12th scale Cobras in the "Get It New" section.

The distressed model looks great,theres alot of time and effort been put into building the model

I noticed in the back of HURRICANEHAROLDS collection a couple of models with hardtops that appear to be the drag racing versions. Would love to have some info on these models and where they might be purchased.
