Yep, many doubles as I know when production of models cease, often this increases their value. The white prepainted kits in 1/24 can be built as dozens of different rally cars since I have scads of decal sets. Yet there's many in there not on display due to....lack of room. Imagine that.

Many come from the UK, the limited production Rally car kits are from the country of 'the real' petrol heads. The collection wouldn't be half without my UK sources.

It was over a decade ago but if I remember 'mostly' correct my 1/10 XJ220 was about 30 quid. That was one of those buy it 'right' now purchases. It was not, however, a Minichamps. Nice models those are.....

You asked for it. These pics are from varied periods, hence some configuration differences.

I didn't build this basic diarama, a UK builder did. And yes I know, there's no Truimph in it and this is a sort of botch on my part. I have a few TR-6's so I'll park one on there somewhere. Intention was for it to be a British display.



Only the JPS is mine, the others belong to my two sons. We used to have a bit of fun together with them. Now they grew up, unlike their Dad.



Some from the Sunbeam section, these are old pics, the shelves are considerably more crowded currently





Diarama itself built, again, by a UK builder. P-51 built by my mate who's has gone on now to battle evil in another dimension. I have.....many P-51's.



The view from the door to the model room, an older pic as the 1/10 Focus' are no longer on the floor:



Some of one of my specialty collections, Ferrari 250LM's:





Others:









I have always had many P-51's and assorted A/C that I worked on in the Air Force. They're elsewhere. When my mate I mentioned before, went on to battle evil......I inherited his collection. As a collector, now even I am overwhelmed.....so is my storage unit.

Ignore the 1:1 scale blue car, there are 47 boxes of models there beside it. A model collection representing my mates life. Roughly half are Porsche, the other half military aircraft.

Now all I have to do is figure out what's next.

Pretty much a lifelong thing for me too. Took my '66 Alpine to the UK both times we were stationed there. It still carries the D-reg plate and the last tax disc it was issued.

Sunbeam models however, not exactly easy things to find.

Indeed, of the 1/24 Maisto's they made I have all but the Silver one. Never seen one in fact. Since I have a blue 2002 SVT in 1:1 scale I have several of the blue one, I only have a poor phone picture of one of the models.....

I have to agree, the wheels are the only weak part of how Maisto chose to do this model.
