On to the individual pics ...
Mclaren MP4/4 - Ayrton Senna - 1988 - 1:64 Minichamps
-->not the prettiest F1 car but certainly one of the most dominant - its 1.5 l turbo engine propelled Ayrton and Alain to 15 wins out of 16 races
Model Rating: 6/10 (too small to notice all details)
Worth buying? Yes if you want the complete Senna collection
Mclaren MP4/7 - Ayrton Senna - 1992 - 1:64 Minichamps
--> Aaah, along with the Ferrari 641 one of the prettiest shapes to come in the last 20 years.
Model Rating: 6/10 (too small to notice all details)
Worth buying? Yes if you want the complete Senna collection
Mclaren MP4/2B - Niki Lauda - 1984 - 1:43 Minichamps
--> Older shape sort of resembles the 1992 shape more than the 1988 version.
Model Rating: 8/10 (much better than the above two)
Worth buying? Definitely - nice model + Lauda was WDC in this car
Williams Renault FW16 - Ayrton Senna - 1994 - 1:43 Minichamps
--> Senna's last ride - one of the coolest paint jobs ever
Model Rating: 10/10 (much better than the above two)
Worth buying? Yes ... Ayrton Senna .. nuff said
Tyrrell 002 - Francois Cevert - 1972 - 1:43 Quartzo
--> Actual car: neat shape. Model: I am not impressed with Quartzo - looks cheap and flimsy construction -- i will avoid this make in the future
Model Rating: 3/10 (lousy)
Worth buying? Skip ...
Cooper Climax T51 - Stirling Moss - 1959 - 1:43 Quartzo
--> Actual car: Giant killer in the hands of Sir Stirling Moss. I am not impressed with Quartzo - looks cheap and flimsy construction -- i will avoid this make in the future. Wheel came off when I tried to spin it
Model Rating: 4/10 (lousy quality)
Worth buying? Skip ...
Ferrari F2002 - Michael Schumacher - 1:18 - Mattel
Dynamite in the hands of Schumi. Pretty decent model - looks like the aero parts are correctly reproduced
Model Rating: 8/10
Worth buying? Worth it for the money - engine and innard are hidden. BBR and others are better detailed but is too expensive
Porsche 917K - 1:18 - Autoart
240 mph down the Mulsanne straight. This model was from the movie "Le Mans" starring steve McQueen
Model Rating: 10/10 - Exceptional detailing - rubber on tyres seem very real
Worth buying? Hell Yeah! My best model
Ford GT - 1:18 - The Beanstalk group
The new supercar. Very cool looking....
Model Rating: 9/10 Very nice overall. Exceptional engine and suspension detailing
Worth buying? Yes
Ferrari Enzo - 1:18 - Hot Wheels
Nice car overall.
Model Rating: 9/10 Lights are nicely done. The rear hatch is a bit of pain to close...
Worth buying? Yes. Available in black, red, yellow. Black is the nicest IMHO
Ferrari 360 CS - 1:18 - Hot Wheels
Not as smooth looking model as the Enzo. The front hood is a little clumsy. OK otherwise
Model Rating: 8.5/10
Worth buying? Yes. Grey or black is the best. Red is a bit generic... IMHO
Lamborghini Murcialago - 1:18 - Maisto
Very nicely done. The only quibble I have is that the cooling vents behind the door doesn't flip open.
Model Rating: 9/10
Worth buying? Yes. Quality better than Hot Wheels. Grey is the best. Black hides too many of the details of the little bat. IMHO
Ferrari 550 Barchetta - 1:18 - Hot Wheels
Interior is a little dull and lights poor compared to the Lambo. Ok overall.
Model Rating: 8.5/10
Worth buying? Yes. All colours suit the Barchetta - flashy model
Porsche Carrera GT - 1:18 - Maisto
Very well executed model.
Model Rating: 9.5/10
Worth buying? Yes. Quality better than Hot Wheels. Shines in black
Ferrari 166M - 1:18 - Hot Wheels
Nicest Mattel model that i have.
Model Rating: 9.5/10
Worth buying? Yes. Quality good.
Ayrton Senna 1988 helmet and Michael Schumacher helmet (year unknown)
Model Rating: 9/10
Worth buying? Yes. Has helmet strap
Head to head
The hypercars
The "reasonably priced" exotics
Scuderia Rao - 10/27 - Ferrari 206SP, 340 Mexico, Hakkinen
and judging by the amount of "on order" ones, it will grown damn fast!
