My 1961 Ferrari 156 Sharknose

[raylinds]

Okay, it's only a diecast and not the real thing, but it sure is beautiful. It's an Exoto 1/18 scale replica with the 120 degree engine. These are pictures from the Exoto website, but I will post some of my own this weekend. This is number 2 but mine is number 4 (Von Tripps). The detail is just amazing.

BTW- I know this is image heavy, but I am posting url links and not uploaded images, as my assumption is that it would not impact the forum. If that is not the case, please let me know.












Here are some close-ups of some of the amazing detail:










You can actually shift the gear shifter!






All of the throttle linkage is operational- when you depress the accelorator pedal in the cockpit, the buterflies in the injectors open!

I should have posted this before: http://www.exoto.com

I also have a 312B that I will post pictures of, soon. I have a collection of about 30 die cast cars, primarily F1 and LeMans, but some CAN AM and drag cars, as well. I eventually plan to post pictures of all, or most of them (not sure if there would be much interest in the drag cars around here).

Here's a sneak peak at the 312B:

I can't take the credit, these are from the web. I am starting to post my own pictures of my collection in this thread:
