OK .. got these three cars last week

24. 1:18 Auto Union Type C World Record Car - Revell AG
Streamlined version used for the speed records. Driven by Bernd Rosemayer. one of the all-time greats... Had a cover over the wheels during the record attempt for less drag...
Model Rating: 9.5/10 - Very realistic - Nicely done dash - check out the painted rev-counter
Worth buying? Yes ... if you like 30s GP cars this should be on your list.

I have put my 1:43 road racing version of Auto Union for a contrast



25. 1:18 Lamborghini Diablo SV - Maisto
Model Rating: 9.0/10 - Realistic. Spring suspension. The door frames dont open up all the way like the Murcielago (see page 1 to compare)
Worth buying? Yes ... The black and blue SVs look nice...



26. 1:18 Ferrari 250 Lusso - Mattel
Model Rating: 9.5/10 - Sweet shape. Pretty accurately rendered except the engine bay which looks like it built to a price.
Worth buying? Yes



There are 11 more nice cars headed my way in the mail. Am eagerly waiting them. Unfortunately as I am infected by the same "reluctance-to-reveal-details" virus that has hit St-Anger, I cannot tell you what cars are coming....

Will be needing to get some shelving - my computer desk is out of space..
