Joal Marooka MST1500VD

Marooka is a Japanese firm that's known for their rubber track vehicles. Normally you would associate a model with these rubber tracks as a cheaper replacement for one with real metal tracks but in this case it's the real deal. The rubber tracks means that the Marooka can go where other carriers cannot go with less damage to the environment.A truly unique model.

Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 308 GTB

The 308 must be one of my favorite Ferrari's of all time thanks to Magnum PI. This is what my definition of a Ferrari was while I was growing up. As a boy I dreamed of owning one and since a real one is out of reach this fabulous model from Hot Wheels will have to do.

The thing that I like the most is the fact that you can still see the engine, no plastic overs to hide the detail. All round this must be one of the better models in my collection, the interior is lovely detailed and on the outside it ticks all the boxes.The working pop-up headlights is also a very nice feature.

What do I like the most, that it's Magnum's car (well sort of, his was the GTS).

Kyosho Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione - #39 Team Pozzi

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 was for a long time on my wish and this week I finally got my Daytona. The 365 GTB/4 is one the iconic Ferrari's (seems that every second Ferrari is iconic but ... ). Developed during the late 60's in a time when super cars where moving the rear engine old Enzo and company developed something classic. 

Of the ~ 1400 365's build about 14 where special 'Competizione' versions like this one build for racing. This car #39 won the 1972 Le Mans GT class for team Charles Pozzi.

This is my first model from Kyosho and it's amazing. The first thing is that the model is heavy, meaning less plastic and more metal. The second thing is the amount of fine detail in the engine and the car's interior. Lastly I just love the exterior, the details, paint job, sponsorship logos etc. 

I paid a lot but still at discount and it was worth it.

What I love the most of this model, the racing delivery with all the little detail.

Bburgo Lamborgini Aventador

The Lamborghini Aventador is currently one of the apex super cars, maybe not as fast a Veyron (350 vs 400 km/h) but definitely up there with the Ferrari's. One thing about  Lamborghini's I like is how good they look in bright colors, A yellow or lime green Lamborghini's just looks good, the same as the orange one, few other cars can do that.

I got the Bburgo really cheap so I did not expect much but surprisingly it was not too bad. Okay the detail may not be as good as Autoart or so but still interior looks good and because the engine is mostly covered by plastic panels you in any case see not going to see much detail in the engine bay. Outside also descend details like the brakes.

All in all a nice 'entry' model.

Norscot CAT D5K2 LPG Dozer

The D7K2 is next to my 908 loader one of my smaller construction models. This however the not compromise the nice level of detail found on this very affordable model. All round the detail is very good with little to find fault with.

I must say I really like the cab design with the big windows giving good 360 view.




The D5K2 next to it's bigger brother the D7E.



Will post my own pictures soon :-)
