That really shows how much wider modern cars are compared to the counterparts from only a decade ago!

I noticed this also, the model number for the Car is TR121, which GPL have in stock as the Win Percy Car, whilst Trax have it as a pre-order but the Rouse car, but both with the same model number???

Just finished a mod to the Giovanardi Vectra, added some Dunlop decals to the tyres, which finish the car off. Also once off the plinth the ride height does improve. Here's a piccy.
So where did you find the 1/43 Dunlop decals?

So where did you find the 1/43 Dunlop decals?

Found them at www.grandprixmodels.co.uk (http://www.grandprixmodels.co.uk), looked under Decals, and typed in tyres. They are called Tyre Sidewall Markings Decals.

I placed my order with a buy it now on eBay, still waiting for it to arrive after what has been about four days wait now. I also bought a Minichamps Sierra Cosworth, a DTM Biella car, cant wait for them to arrive.

Also when choosing which BTCC Sierra i found there was a chioce of driver, Win Percy or Rob Gravett for the same car. I went for the Win Percy version.

I have also added the 2007 Vectra to my collection, its a very nice model, but not Minichamps quality which is a shame, but for 9.99 you cant complain too much.

Which Gravett car have they done?

Iain

28th June 2008, 11:02

Robb Gravett did run an ICS machine in some races for RouseSport in 1988. Maybe it's that?

daz90

28th June 2008, 13:51

Well maybe it was an error by one of the sellers, but when i was choosing which ebay shop to buy from i came across the same model listed as driven by Gravett. Like i said though i bought the Percy model, which arrived today along with my brand spanking new 1989 DTM Sierra driven by Biela.

#1JamesThompsonFan

Minichamps are making loads of Biela cars at the moment so hopefully the Audi A4 from BTCC will be released to the public this time?!

Has there been any more news on the grapevine about the AutoArt Volvos?

I can't wait to get my hands on the Rydell '95 saloon in it's 1:18th glory!

Excellent, where from??

#1JamesThompsonFan

23rd July 2008, 20:24

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what are the rare BTCC models are because I dont have any idea as to what price range to put on the models as to whether they are bargains etc. On ebay I know you bid upto what price you rate the the model at, but I wondered what models people would pay that little extra for, does that make sense???

PDS

23rd July 2008, 20:36

Not that easy.. check your PM's.

Eurotech

24th July 2008, 11:12

for 1/43rd scale I would say £15 and under is a good bargain £15-£30 is reasonable and normally the best quality and £30 and over is what I would say was a rip off.

daz90

24th July 2008, 20:17

For an Onyx model i would look to pay 10 to 15 pounds, less than a tenner and thats a bargain. Racing Replica models are rare, especially the Cavaliers, they will fetch quite a bit of money providing a few bidders are very keen.

Indeed i would rate the different cavalier models among the most desired and expensive models around, add the 1995 Mondeo's and 95/96 Volvo 850's to that bracket too. Then comes the even more desired and expensive Volvo 850 estate of lammers and Rydell, also the Alfa 155 of 94 champion Tarquini, these often fetch 50 quid plus, and that Alfa is one car that has eluded me for many years, i just dont want to pay that much for one. The 95 and 96 BMW's also command a premium, they are pretty rare though, as is the 96 Audi A4, you dont see many of those on eBay.

50 upwards, i have seen them reach 80 pounds before, it all depends on how many bidders want it badly. Indeed i would say those two BMW's are the rarest of all BTCC cars, however i do believe Solido also made 95 replica's of the Goldeneye BMW's of Ceccoto and Brabham, i dont think they were all that great quality wise though, certainly not Minichamps standard.

I was lucky, i bought my 96 Winklehock for about 40 pounds from a German shop. As for my 95 Ceccoto, i believe i payed the going rate, about 60 pounds.

26th July 2008, 21:35

I only buy Onyx Models with the certificate of authentication with them. I dont know whether spark or minichamps etc have certificates with them? I will post my list in a bit

daz90

27th July 2008, 08:30

Minichamps, have the model number printed on the cardboard box, not sure about Spark, i only have two Spark models, the 2004 Carl Breeze Alfa, and an ETCC BMW.

Ps, if anyone would like to view my updated and extensive list, pm me and i will send it via that, its a fairly large list now, a bit too long for posting here.

Sorry, list I already have, looking to add to it all the time. Have just purchased:

Onyx Alain Menu Renault Laguna 97

I know there arent many 'rare' models there but some are worth more than others based on driver popularity and/or recent seasons cars.

Always looking on ebay for the Colin Turkington and Tom Onslow-Cole BMW

You never know...

Eurotech

31st July 2008, 00:15

Ive always found it hard to find BTCC models so I never bothered and I collect rally models mainly. Ive got the 2007 Giovanardi and I want to get the three VXR Vectras from this year too.

thetrooper_scot

31st July 2008, 14:06

I have nearly all the models from 1993-2004.
I only need the following.
1993 Matt Neal BMW by Racing Replicas
1995 Paul Radisich Mondeo by Racing Replicas
1995 Kelvin Burt Mondeo by Racing Replicas
1996 Kelvin Burt Volvo by Minichamps
1998 Rickard Rydell by Onyx.

I don't have Gio's Vectra as I don't like the quality very much of the Oxford Diecast version.

When you say MODELS, do you mean just Diecasts or kits as well?

HOW can you say that when you look at the Racing Replicas Cavalier range???

Iain

31st July 2008, 17:07

Exactly. The Racing Replicas are shocking quality, my Matchbox cars of the same era are better quality! But still I bought them regardless. :laugh:

does anyone know what the Carl breeze 156s are changing hands for? and where I can find one?

Iain

31st July 2008, 22:40

I "sold" mine for £15 last year on eBay. Buyer didn't respond to the card in his door from the post office telling him he'd missed a delivery, so I refunded him and it was returned to me a month later by the post office. Glad I didn't lose it now, it's a rare post-1999 BTCC model after all.

#1JamesThompsonFan

2nd August 2008, 20:36

Just out of interest How much would a mint condition and boxed set of these 2 cars fetch?

I personally would pay anything up to 50 pounds for the pair of them. But they would probably go for a lot more

There are still quite a few 1/43 Integras available, there are a couple on ebay at the moment, the best one to get is the EBBRO model Verno Shin racing version because this one has the correct wheels and it's the one I used to do my conversions

On a different note, I've finally got my spray gun and compressor working. I'm going to do all the shells while the weather is nice then do the interior/decals in the winter when it's too cold to work in the garage!!

Any tips on using a spray gun? My first attempt was fine (better than painting with a brush as my first models were) but not spectacular.

yes nobody is perfect, i think thats a fantastic model ! really well done. would anyone have any idea of any comapnies that make decals? im currently having pinkneys 91 production sapphire made for me but still have'nt found a company to make the stickers. its in 1/18th scale, the model is pretty much left as it was but has been sprayed in the white and pi k colours, wheels painted white and the wheel mountings cut so it sits lower.

Paul Robson does all my one off decals
Not cheap so you might aswell get a few sets made for the price it costs to do one set
Nice Intergra Model Paul

I was told there were only 100 made. Whether these were 100 of each driver or 100 in total, I don't know.

Thats cheap for that price
are they 1/43 diecast and whats the quality like?

It's better than the old Onyx BTCC models in terms of build quality. Maybe not as accurate as a Spark or a Minichamps in terms of the ride height and the interior, but at that price, I'm sure somebody like yourself could modify it to your satisfaction. :)

Found out something interesting. R.A.E. models were commissioned by Ray Bellm's late father Tony to make many models over the years, I'm guessing these have similar origins.

Tony launched the Piccolino range of 1:76 scale white metal handbuilt models, produced for him by RAE. He was also the 'angel' who enabled RAE to purchase the ex-Mikansue patterns to augment their 1:43 scale range, and then passed on the Piccolino range to RAE as well.

I only found that out by trying to find photos of his model collection, which is partly on display in the BRDC Clubhouse at Silverstone. I've been told by someone who works there that it's very impressive indeed.

I was told that Ray's father was part of RAE models!..

I have contacted the company and am waiting for a reply on how many were produced, their value at the time of production and their estimated worth today.

The set in question was given to the Team Manager at Team Dynamics, who in turn gave them to the present owner who is looking to part with them...

Easliy done. Took me about 20 minutes... Take the model apart. Gently remove one wheel from each axle. Then take a round needle file, lengthen the hole that the axle goes through!

You can't go too far as the wheel will hit the top of the inner arch! Make sure you go dont go ofline with the file!

A very nice and so far my only M3 of Erik Bristow from the BTCC, cant recall the year now though, 1990 ish, its a labbats car. And instead of converting a rally based sierra Sapphire to the 1992 Rob Gravett car he raced that season, i bought a ready made motor pro one from ebay, so i now have a spare set of decalls for said car if anyone else is interested.

I wont be converting my intended model, i shall keep it in the rally trim, as i now have a decent collection of Sierra models.

Thanks. And still too many more to get!! I still haven't got all the ONYX or Minichamps models yet. Trying to spend some of my time making the kits I have picked up over the years, currently making a 1992 BMW coupe (either Menu or Nissen) and a Renault 19 (having trouble as it came without a rollcage and the shell is damaged - didn't pay much though!).

$49 is about £23! For that you get a fully detailed model inside and out, even underneath with steering, suspension and exhaust system.

New Altaya part work in Spain featuring the competition cars of Seat. Mix of race and rally but some touring cars of note including one of a certain Mr Plato...

http://www.altaya.es/public/microsites/seatsport/listado.pdf

At a quick glance it looks like a subscription for a magazine which includes the model, my Spanish is non existent so I could be wrong.

Hello chaps. Not posted in awhile, but thought i would check it out to see if my fellow collecters have been busy adding to their respective collections or not.

As for myself, i havn't added much to my BTCC collection, just a 1991 Rob Gravett Sierra, and Laurence Bristow M3 from 1990. Apart from that i have added a few to my F1 collection, but to be honest there just isn't much about at the minute. I find that eBay has been overtaken by eBay shops rather than the good old days when a bargain might have been availiable in a proper auction, now even most regular sellers are trying to sell there items with the 'buy it now' option. Which is dissapointing.

Hi everyone,not been on in an age so hope you're all well. I've been offered the chance to a stunning 1/18th 1990 Robb Gravett Rs500, based upon a Minichamps Model the thing is absolutley stunning right down to the roll cage and dash board layout. Just wondering how much you think this model is worth as I'm expecting the guy to come back to me with a price early nest week.
Like I said this thing is amazing quality and perfect in everyway, it's in the latter stages of 1990 Ford credit livery.
Any help would be appreciated.

WSRfan82

22nd February 2009, 18:23

as owner of 1:18th Minichamps Model's myself and with it being 1:18th and if it is the origanl model id say about £60-£80

As WSRfan82 said, 1/18 Models are generally worth £60-£80 unless they are something really special.. Not sure I would class the Gravett Sierra as something special!

Ideally in 1/43

MG ZS (Although this would require Co-operation from China which hasn't been forthcoming on previous attempts.)
Astra Coupe
Honda Civic (Both shapes)
Honda Integra
Astra Sport Hatch
Seat Toldeo

Although the chances of most of that list is probably zero, so maybe I wasn't being very realistic!

See I'm not too greedy am I.

I have made 1/43 Matt Neal Integra's from 2005 & 2006 and have posted pictures previously. I still have decal sheets for both cars so I can still make them if anybody wants one.

Like said you have to have the confidence to take it on or do a bit at a time and not rush it

I have been building models for years and still get it wrong or have to put the model aside in that if you rush it you will mess it up

If you haven't done it before the it may be worth practising on other models first before attempting to start a model you really want to do. I've only making my own cars for just over a year and still not that great yet (so it will be a while before I start the 95 Cleland car!). My first models were 1/43 Revell Le Mans cars that came in a pack as they were cheap and didn't matter if I did them wrong (learnt quite a few lessions that way)

Best tip I got (PDS I think!) is don't rush it, a good model could take a few months before it's finished.

I've just finished spraying the 1st coat on 6 body shells tonight!

Also I now have 2 kits that are surplus to requirements (1993 Watts Mazda and 1994 Primera) PM me if anyone is interested.
