Airtrax Ferrari 250 GTE and Alfa 1900 Touring and Profil 24 Iso Lemans 1964 in 1/24th scale. Airtrax makes some nice rare vintage car kits in 1/24th scale resin. The castings could be better, but accuracy is very good. From 1960's Fords and Saabs to Ferrari's and Alfa's they do them.

my most recent purchase was a tameo ferrari f2004-Belgian gp version. £10 on ebay!
I've also spent my hard earned on the 3 new revell f1 kits, but, do they count as a purchase, because they're not out yet?

Recieved the Fujimi FW14B and Ferrari F188 from Hiroboy last Tuesday and am now trying to talk myself into the Footwork FA13. Also got a super detail set for one of my 2 Tamiya Lancaster bombers. Wow, think that'll write of at least a year at the speed I work! I'm 35 now and I reckon at my current completiton rate I need never buy another kit again, just work on my stash. I will keep buying tho. There's just something about planning the next project or looking over a new kit. This a great hobby!

Both really. As a kid growing up, I couldn't get enough of watching Sky King, B&W TV of course. I've always loved the old straight tail Cessna 310's and have a soft spot for Sky's original Song Bird, the Cessna "Bamboo Bomber".

Interesting thread - Interesting too, to see how many non F1 kits us 'hardcore F1' modelers are buying... Myself included.

My most recent purchases are:

1/24 Profil24 Audi Quattro S1
1/24 Tamiya Toyota Supra Group A - Minolta
1/24 Tamiya Nissan R32 Skyline Group A - "HKS"
1.24 Tamiya BMW 320 Group 5 - "Jagermeister"

The 3 Tamiya kits are 'holy grail' kits - I'd been searching for them for ages (at a reasonable price), and they all came up pretty much at once..

I haven't bought an F1 car for a while - last ones were the Fujimi Ferrari F1/88, Hase 312T and Tamiya F60.....

I'll be buying the Fujimi Ferrari F1/87 as soon as it's available, along with the MFH 312T4

I'll probably end up getting the Hase Lotus 79, along with the Fujimi MP4/5, FW14B and FW16 when I next place an order. I've always wanted these, but for some reason I'm struggling to get excited about buying them. I think I'm getting overwhelmed by my stash.

My recent purchases mean I have pretty much everything I want that is available - These days I tend to just pick up new kits, and I'm getting quite fussy about which of those I buy. I've finally worked out that if I keep building at my current rates, I'll need to live to be about 300 before I'm going to get through my stash

1/12 Ferrari F2002 and 1/12 Lotus 72D. I am pretty stoked. The 72D was the first F1 car I ever knew much about as I had a Matchbox 1/43 die-cast as a kid.

Cheers,
