Diecast for today 8/12/21 Ixo MUS010 Delage D8-120

I've considered this IXO Delage many times, but I don't entirely like its proportions; not sure if it is a model issue or 1:1 issue; the cabin looks too large compare to the hood length. The Heco model looks the same though. I love and own this Spark model:  

I'm not familiar with the "real thing" (the 1:1), but your Spark model is a beaut!   Thanks for posting it.

I like this Elysee model too because of its proportions and colors but don't have it

Harv, I have the same model as yours. I don't know enough about the 1/1 to comment on the proportions of the model but I have always liked the design and color.

@chav I have that one too, as well as Spark's D8 120S Pourtout Coupe (Louis Delage's personal car).

Here's a few pics of the 1:1 gold car. Perhaps the windshield is a little too high on the Ixo?

A beautiful Delage selection Gentlemen. Thanks for posting.

@mg-harv Unfortunately most 1:1 pictures are done with wide angle lenses and that distorts the proportions. On both pictures above the hood looks much elongated, especially compared with the IXO model. I may just buy it to assess it. I agree, the window is a bit too high.

I do have IXO or IXO-like Pourtout Coupe in 1/43 as well as the 1/24 Automodello. I also have 2 Matrix and 1 Ilario Delage's. These are not photographed and not displayed so I can post pictures in the future.

Several months ago I compared the Pourtout Coupes from different manufactures and I concluded for myself that the Spark's version was the best value. Here are the pictures from My Media:

I've just ordered the Delage D8 120 Letourneur 1938 Blue S2707 from Spark, thanks for the pic Chav.
