TSM Daytona. The roof line looks a little off but fantastic details for the size. It comes with a nice base and cover too. I also bought a Mustang GT350 but it is not branded, huh? Terrible wheels but for $9 it looks ok. They complete a display case I think I am done with, for the third time! Some pix to share...

Love the Daytona. That Mustang is certainly a good buy even if you don't like the wheels much.

Is the Mustang a partworks? Did it come in a blisterback? i like it! 🙂Â

@david-green The Daytona is amazing, so many little details, photo etched parts, but hard to see in the picture. The Mustang is well done except the wheels. It has an inside mirror and a tach on the dash.

@karl It is the first one you showed but the second looks awful close but no side scoops and no rear side glass, who made them, there is not even an identifying mark on the model either?Â

You are right - must be the 1st one. It is made by IXO for a Mexican (and probably European countries) partworks series. Why there is no ID on the baseplate. Made for another company to sell in French newsstands attached to a magazine. Click on the links in hobbyDB to take you to the Grandes Autos or IXO pages for more explanation of what they are.
Hope you keep buying 1/43 - they are the *best* scale!

@karl Thanks for the info. I am into race cars and there seems to be a lot in 1/43 so I am sure it will happen
