Great pics as always, but wouldn't the wheels be painted yellow on the 1:1?

I think you're probably right.l, but it still looks ok with the black.

Yes they are. The two '57's are from M2 Machines, and measure up nicely to DM/FM models.

The 1950 is from Motor Max. It measures up well with the FM version, but is a very low quality model. It is one of those I keep in the back of the display cabinet, if it's out at all. The paint is questionable, it sits too high in the year. Needs detailing, maybe someday I do something about it. The model was a gift from a non-diecast friend.
