Any 1/43rd F-1 modelers here?

[Homemade 911]

Any Serious 1/43rd F-1 modelers around here?

I just recently acquired 20+ 1/43rd scale white metal kits - all basically unbuilt.
They are almost all F-1 Cars
Some have been started (some more so than others)
Some don't have the instruction sheet - you'd have to build those by either braille, experience, or both

Here's a list (with the manufacturer's name first)
BBR
- WILLIAMS FW16B (FRENCH GP) 1994
- FERRARI 412 T1B (FRENCH GP) 1994
- TYRELL-Yamaha 021 (British GP-I think, labels' hard to read) 1993
- JORDAN-Peugeot (BRAZILIAN GP) 1995 ...ON HOLD

MERI Kits
- FERRARI 640 "AIRSCOPE" 1989...ON HOLD
- WILLIAMS FW12C (IMOLA GP) 1989
- BENETTON FORD B188 (IMOLA GP) 1988
- FERRARI 126 C4-M2 1984...ON HOLD
- LIGIER MEGATRON JS 29B 1987...SOLD

SRC Models
- FERRARI 156 65 F1 1961 (The "Sharknose")...ON HOLD
- BRM H16 P83 F1 1967
- FERRARI 312-T4 Sheckter/Villenueve 1979
- ARROWS FA-1 Patrese 1978...ON HOLD

SMTS
- LOTUS 49/8 F1 (no year indicated)
- MARCH 701 F1 (no year indicated)
- FERRARI 312-B F1 (no year indicated)

TAMEO Kits
- WILLIAMS Renault FW12C (SAN MARINO GP) 1989
- JORDAN Peugeot 196 (GERMAN GP) 1996...ON HOLD
- BENETTON B189 (BRITISH GP) 1989
- AGS Cosworth JH23 (MONACO GP) 1988
- MCLAREN Mercedes MP4/10 (BRAZILIAN GP) 1995...ON HOLD

MISC Kits (brand in pharen...)
- COBRA DAYTONA COUPE ("Classic Super Cars" - England)
- FERRARI DINO 206 Sebring ("Record" - France)
- FERRARI 512M LEMANS/DAYTONA 1971 ("Marsh Models" - England)
- BENETTON Cosworth: out of original box, no instructions, tough to ID...appears complete.

OK...
- These are kits intended for the very serious 1/43rd modeler...which I am not. (I'm a ready built die-cast guy...)
- I really don't know beans about these things.
- I do know that brand new kits start at about $50 and just go up from there.
- Like I said earlier, some of these kits don't have their instructions, and others appear to have been started - at least the body shell has been prepped - but not much effort beyond that. Other kits appear virgin.
- I have no idea how complete each kit is...if you're interested in a particular kit, I can take a closer look with your assistance (on the phone, email, etc)

- I'm offering these up to my 911 Registry "family" first. So, any and all reasonable, intelligent offers (pick & choose, or buy the whole collection) will be considered...these are very cool models and they really need to go to the right home.

NOTE: Whatever's left after today (12/4) is heading off to fleabay...if you're interested in anything, please pm me ASAP!

Anyone? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Happy Holidays
Cheers
Thom

Thom,

very interested in the following:
MERI kits: '89 Ferarri
'84 Ferrari 126 C4

SRC kits: '61 Ferrari 156 Sharknose

I'm in the SF bay area for shipping purposes.

Please quote prices.

If you have trouble getting rid of these kits, there are some that are not that easily available anymore among those you listed, and as a last resort you might try Peggy at Model Car Masterpieces in Costa Mesa. She also handlkews die-casts of all types.

Thanks, John

Guys,
I also have this '87 here. It's a 1/43rd TAMEO kit of G. Bergers' #28 car.
It's not a bad build-up. Driver's front wheel is pushed up slightly - don't know if it can be fixed. I ain't tryin it...
Look at it this way: It can be argued that Berger hit a curb...

Anyone? offers? trade for a cool, built Porsche?

Let me know - otherwise, I was just gonna park it in my case, next to the CART Foster's Porsche...

Happy Holidays
Cheers
Thom
