I have created an illustrated list of Goldvarg Models in numerical order, to date. It is based on Sergio's web site including his pictures. I've included links to individual car makes also. Its not quite complete yet but all available models and future models are included, plus those which are not available any longer. Here's the link if its of interest to you. http://www.spacroftmodels.co.uk/goldvarg_range.htm. Â

@karl The real comment you meant to make Karl, is why didn't Mike do this on hobbyDB! 
 Kill two birds, you know....

 The list is a great start but seems to ignore the many 1/43 models that Sergio did many years ago. This 1956 Mercury is one such model.

@mg-harv I considered the American side of things was John Kuvacus' territory so I didn't want to step on his toes.

@dave_larsen That's because that information isn't readily available to me. I can certainly do a bit of research and if the info' is there I'll put something together.

The Goldvarg archive is already at HobbyDB but the reference numbers were not entered, so you can't sort them to same way that Mike does his page. Therefore, its hard to tell which ones are missing in hobbyDB.  If Mike is OK with it, I can work on it and fill in any missing models using Mike's photos... (Like I did for all the old British white metal ranges Mike had photos of...)

@karl If you do, note that someone has entered models on hobbyDB that have not actually appeared yet. We all know how production can be delayed. Someone may need to peruse these later this year and check the dates.Â

@mike-coupe   Thank you.  As the thread indicates, Hobby db has those covered pretty well, and it may also be possible to reach Sergio if further details are needed.  If you care to share your email Mike, I can provide you decent photos of those older models that I have in my collection.

I can also add them to hobbyDB, if you'll permit me. goschnelle at gmail.com

@dave_larsen Thank you Dave. I've been scouring t'internet (including Hobby db) for photos of Goldvarg Mk.I models and whilst I have found some, the photos vary in quality. I'm also missing details, such as whether more that one colour was produced and sometimes the model number isn't stated. I would appreciate your photos, thank you. My email is spacroft@aol.com

I just uploaded a bunch of photos from David Larsen and added a series name to the older white metal Goldvargs made in Argentina. Without box ends or baseplates, it is hard to get all the reference numbers right on these white metal models. Does anyone have a compete list? Right now, Spacroft and HobbyDB do not jive 100%... But we are a lot closer.

As I looked at these great Goldvarg pictures (Many thanks to Mike, Karl, and all the others involved), I saw one Chevy pictured that rang a bell in my rusty memory. And I just found it!
