Motorsport Scale Models

[SDK^]

Does any here collect motorsport scale models? Lets see your collections - post them up here !

This is our F1 collection.
My son is a Hamilton, Lando, Leclerc & Sainz fan, and the bottom shelf is my small collection.
It's currently in my sons bedroom but I'll be re-locating it next year, when I convert our garage to a sim racing room.

Hamilton - We have all of Hamilton's F1 cars in 1/43 size, including the 2006 September test car and some of his helmets through the years. The large car at the back is a 1/12 scale 2020 Mercedes W11.

Norris

Ferrari - the Leclerc 2019 SF1000 and Sainz 2022 F1-75 and a small Schumacher collection

Jenson Button - some of his F1 cars through the years, including the 1999 Williams, through to the championship winning 2009 Brawn 01
Senna - The all conquering 1988 McLaren MP4/4 and the fateful 1994 Williams FW16
Mansell - The 1991 Williams FW14 where Mansell gave Senna a 'Taxi' ride back to the pits after he ran out of fuel on the last lap of the British GP. The 1987 Williams FW11, 1990 Ferrari and the 1993 Newman/Haas Indy Car.

That collection is seriously impressive @SDK^ The winner for me would be the Brawn car and the JB helmet, classic design.

That is actually really awesome. I was going to ask how much some of those set you back but perhaps @iamtheoneneo has answered that?

I don't have any models (have done a few Airfix aircraft in the past) but I've been tempted to get one of these a few times. This was the car that won the Nürburgring 24 hours in 2021(didn't attend cause of covid); we supported the car because of the livery, and because Kevin Estre is a joke of a driver in Endurance. It also should have won in 2019 (Our first N24 trip) but had a penalty about 22 and a half hours in to the race. Audi won instead.

No pics as they're currently in storage, but I have a collection of 1/43 Silk Cut Jaguar XJR series cars from the late 80s through to early 90s.

I'm missing the XJR-11, I've been on the lookout for ages.

Updated my first post with some of the new 2022 releases.

Simply an amazing collection! Blimey, these scale models are on another level!

I don't collect static models, rather inherited my Dad's childhood hobby of Scalextric (does this count for this post?)

I tend to collect older stuff, they are slow, make a noise and smell (epic).

The Lando McLaren's - 2020, Monaco 21 and 22

I've been trying to collect F1 1:20 model kits from my favourite era (1988-1997) but they're getting harder and harder to find these days.

We have the LH 2022 helmet in all sizes, 1:5, 1:2 and 1:1 - My son uses the full size version for Karting.

 

[Em3bbs]

Is it CMR approved?

 

[SDK^]

Is it CMR approved?

It's FIA 8859-2015 Homologation approved (Bell RS7 Pro)

 

[BenjiSayers]

Where did you get the 1:1 from if you don't mind me asking?

 

[SDK^]

Where did you get the 1:1 from if you don't mind me asking?

It's a standard Bell RS7 Pro, bought in white and then custom painted in the LH 2022 design.
The RS7 is exactly the same design as the helmet LH uses, but he has the carbon made version : Bell HP77 : https://www.demon-tweeks.com/bell-h...FBktLjoFw1vEa4Vuu0BoC774QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
