Nice assortment of Revells....ย  I have about 1/2 dozen or so.ย  ย As a kid I assembled many really great highly detailed Revell 1/25 model kits, yet most of their 1/18 offerings had sealed trunks and/or rear doors.ย  Disappointing too (at least for me ) was that very few American makes were replicated.

nice group of Revells, @grockwood!ย  Really like that white MGA.ย  I had a white 1/16 Polistil, so never picked up the Revell.ย  I should have grabbed one.

Thanks @chris.ย  One of my favorite old BMWs.ย  Minichamps made a few different versions, including racers.ย  This & the older releases are fully opening & nicely done, while some of the new releases are sealed.ย  AutoArt also did the 3.0CSI...slighly different in the details, but an incredible model.

@grockwood...I definitely would have preferred that color.ย  I'm very partial to blues.

More BMWs...850 CSIs (blue by Solido, red by OttoMobile)

@grockwoodย 

I missed out on the Scirocco. Revell did one in red and that was the color of my first 1:1 Scirocco. Darn...!

...getting back to 1/18 Revells for just a moment.ย  My 2 favorites are these: A 1956 FWD Wartburg convertible, and a 1958 FWD Auto Union coupe.ย  Far from perfect but loaded with curb appeal.ย  😎 😎ย

Hmm, that folded top looks kind of like the one on the Revell Beetle. 🤔

Steve,ย  the vender had 1 silver andย  3 red Sciroccos.ย  So I bought the silver one.ย  When I went back for the red one, it and the Stag were gone.

...true, they're similar Steve but in fact, they are different.ย 

For Steve
Wartburg 56 3
