Hey!! Does anyone know a good model car online store? I'm looking for an Arrows A2 in 1:18 scale (because I have it in 1:43 and I think its greatness is missing). A Tamiya kit or similar would work just fine too. Thanks in advance!!
P.S: If I figure out how to attach photos I can share a few pics of my babies.

The best one I know in Spain is this, located in La Rioja. Superfast delivery, great service, though I don't think they have the Arrows. If you want any street car they likely have it though: cochesdemetal.es |

I have the feeling that's going to be a looooong pitstop in that shelf. Pretty much like mines due to damaged parts ...  |

Nah, they come to life at night.  I plan on adding to it over time. More people, oil barrels, tire stacks etc. Make it like a proper paddock scene. |

Ah, so the small ones are 1:43 then right? It'shard to tell when there is no reference, the helmet was indeed misleading  |

No no, Alberto. I mean the cars from Pixar movie. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Doc Hudson...  The picture above are really "model" cars from Kinder Surprise. Amazing what did they manage to stuff into those small yellow capsules. |

Nice one Gabriele, some epic cars there  That 312T I can also see every day at home, as little Al has it. We are planning to get the proper Ferrari decals printed to fit on it, some guy already did it and it looks awesome  |

 It's not all I own...  So in fact this wasn't all... Maybe next week I'll post more pictures of my collection 
I got this one for my birthday: The Lego 1989 Batmobile, it's 1:11. Before you ask, it's 60cm long, bigger than the T312, and it's got 3300 pieces.
And also this little collection of the other famous models. They're 1:32, but the 1966 Batmobile is missing. |

Ok, now I got on pictures a bit more of my collection.
This is a Fast and Furious 3 Tokyo Drift Nissan Silvia, the front stickers are missing because I didn't like them as I was a little kid and still hadn't seen the movie. Now it has some suspension damage I'm trying to fix (very realistic model...  ). Oh, it's RC.
1:12 BMW X6 RC and something else...
Lego Speed Champions models, but I also have two Porsche RSR not built and the 919 and 917K. Also two other ones.
Playmobil Porsche and other supercar and superbikes. The blue one belongs my brother and the red one is shared.
And to finish my slot car collection. All they are 1:32, but the SBKs and the NASCAR are 1:43. |

It's maybe because he's Belgian? (Yellow being the national racing colors of Belgium... France is blue, italy uses red, germany has silver, britain is green etc...) |

Actually Germany's color in that old system was white IIRC, it was when the pre-war GP cars of Mercedes and Auto Union started appearing with polished aluminum silver bodies and the famous nickname "silver arrows" was generated that they dropped white. Or maybe I am wrong.

Yes, Germany is white. The silver arrows came from Neubauer telling the mechanics to shave the paint off to save weight and therefore expose the aluminium panels. And the name was born. (Possible myth)
Or depending on what you believe, they were both just not painted at the factory. But white is Germays national colour.

Looks lovely Richard!
I have the same in my collection, but mine is a DIY job, the 1/24 Tamiya kit.
