the Werk 83 Ferrari 330 and the Solido GT40 Mk 1. Possibly because those are two of my favorite 1:1 prototype racers. The Werk 330 looks better in your photo than in most of the shots I’ve seen on the web.

This year I bought 9 models that were new to me and 4 that I previously sold while downsizing. No sales in 2024 since the models I owned prior to the fall of 2023 were all in storage until October of this year.

2024 highlights for me were models of 3 cars that I had a strong connection with and one movie car that I long waited to appear in 1/18th. My favorite buy was Kyosho's E-type in Pale Primrose yellow. The movie car was a black Lambo Jalpa wearing the same license plates as the 1:1 Sylvester Stallone drove in Rocky 4.




My only planned buy for next year is Kyosho's pale green Ferrari 250 GTO #15 that should come out in Q1 2025. I passed on CMC’s version of this car when I saw Kyosho's announcement.

Currently waiting on 2 models already ordered:

- AA's new Aston Martin DB5 in silver
- CMR's Shelby Daytona coupe in the Scuderia Filipinetti livery
