Fun in 1/43 scale.

Excellent work in my favourite scale, I do remember some from testers or somebody that came with photo etch, that was years ago and have not seen them since.

Again excellent, you have achieved a quality of finish that's up there with die cast manufacturers inn this scale.

Is 1/43rd a popular scale in the States, I ask because over here it's kinda the money scale, at collectors shows you can use 1/43rdalmost as currency.

Popular yes, but not the most. Right now 1/24 &1/25 scale automotive is what is popular, and always have been over the 1/43 offerings although 1/43 is out there, most are metal, all of these are plastic. The Corvette is one of those offered back in 1991 that included a complete engine and transmission, undercarriage exhaust and photo etch. You can still find them for 20-30 dollars off E-bay. My problem is I take too large and detailed a photo, I need to keep them back so the detail you would normally not see does not show up. The pic with the 48 Ford sitting on the pci of the actual car and pretty much alone is pretty much full size and depicts the model better than those supper close ups I did.

i've got the james bond collection in 1/43, plus a few v8 supercars.

and this replica of my 2001 Falcon, which i repainted in touch up paint to match.
