Some pics of the Ivy Gold 65 Mercury from Goldvarg. Like John, I expected to prefer the turquoise but this greenish/gold color is just fantastic on the model. I listed one on the auction site if there is any interest.

This color seems more elegant; the turquoise (which I got) seems more sporty.

I really like both of them; its a really great looking model.

These models are even more incredible in person.

Uniformly, their finish is excellent as is the chrome plating. Interiors are superbly detailed. Where they excel is in trim and badging. The nameplates, engine callouts, and overall trim levels are nothing short of astonishing. Sergio has singlehandedly raised the bar for 1:43 resin.

+1 Agree. Outstanding value for money IMO.

I completely agree, these are some of the finest models in my collection. The overall look & details for the price make these models the absolute best value a collector can appreciate. I know I do, and I eagerly await the release of the next little gem.
