Just starting this for all the diecast model car collectors out there. Im into mainly Australian 1/18, 1/43 and 1/64 but also collect American Muscle and Hot rods from Hot Wheels. Also old Dinky Toys, Corgi, Triang, Matchbox and a few others my father collects.
Heres a car native to Australia, Valiant E38 R/T Charger Driven by Leo Geoghegan and Peter Brown at Bathurst 1971.
In 1/18
Accurate 265 Hemi 6 with a 3 speed manual. These got mauled at Bathurst cause it needed at least another gear or more to keep up with the Toranas and Hos.
Note the Carbies on the engine have real mesh and springs connecting to all the correct places. Fuel line and spare wheel and real fabric seat belts.
Its fantastic. More to follow.
