I have all of them. PMA and Spark do not make 1/24th F1 cars. These are much nicer than their 1/43rd models. I would suggest you buy the 1/24th IXO Lotus 72 from their website and see what you think. If you don't like that car look for the 1/24th Brabham BT46 or Lotus 78 on ebay. The nicest newer car I think is the Brawn 001. Like everything some are better than others.

That website I linked shows pretty good pictures of the models. They have plastic bottoms.

Centauria from Italy newstand IXO Hachette 1/24th F1 coming models have an extension from 61 to 80. Some interesting cars and 8 more World Drivers champion cars. I like the extra odd cars such as the Arrows A2, Tyrell 011(I suspect Detroit) and Ligier JS 11. We also have 45 more of 60 Ferrari F1 1/24th models in the second Italian newstand series yet to be announced. That's alot of F1 Ferrari's in 1/24th scale!!

If you do not know how good the quality of these F1 models is you owe yourself a purchase of one. The last Brabham 1976 BT45 Martini model is stunning, although the real car was not very good.
By the way, Indycals and Pattos Place do make decals for alot of these cars in 1/24th scale if you want to change the race version. Decals and paint are almost perfect but extra decals are always handy to have.

Technically you can make 9 more World Driver champions with the latest 19 F1 cars if you convert the Moss Cooper to Brabham.

So far you can do 44 1/24th Driver Champion cars from this collection. The Ferrari collection will add the 1952, 1953, 1958, 1961, 1977 cars for a total of 49 cars so far in 1/24th scale.

I talked about the Driver Championship in 1/24th scale to IXO/Hachette(I really do not work for them) and they are receptive to the idea of completing the entire Drivers Championship model collection in 1/24th scale. What a great collection that will be!!! IXO 1/24th F1 models are around $35.00 to $40.00.
