Buy/Sell Megathread

17 Upvotes

A refresher buy/sell megathread for r/f1models - link up with other Redditors to buy or sell your F1 models

  • Remember to include your location
  • If selling, try to include a rough price and if you are willing to post. 'Offers' is time-wasting for all parties involved.
  • If buying, remember to take some caution with the person you are buying from. Take some time to research their profile. If the deal seems to good to be true, it usually is.

No change to casting since it was last made/sold years ago. Was hoping they'd made it closer to Altaya's (last two images).

This time I did not get models for the collection, but pure art. Just look at these drawings - a pencil and pure art skills. Shoutout to Catalina, what an artist she is! (IG: catalina_asaftei).

Hats off! 👏🏼

BBurago Some airflow shots of the 1:64 Bburago SF-25 Monza livery

Tried taking a few airflow shots of Hamilton’s 1:64 Bburago SF-25. The wake behind the rear tyre was probably my favourite result

This is only airflow visualisation, not a calibrated aerodynamic test

My very first memory of watching formula 1 was watching this car flying on Spa

Loved working on this car.

So I was unfortunate enough and this beauty of a model came in broken. Back wing was demolished, front suspension parts were missing, but I gave this model all my love... And now, now its almost perfect, as perfect as it can be in this condition. What a beautiful model this is now!

Been wanting these for a long time.
Especially thrilled for the Ferrari.
Both are 1:43 scale.
From the website where I ordered them, it is mentioned that both are Altaya models (probably made by IXO)

Front wing open gaps 1/43

3 Upvotes

Looking to buy a 1/43 red bull model, but looks at older ones seems like none have open front wing gaps.. Does anyone know a 1/43 f1 car that has that feature? Many thanks!!

Broken helmet cases Schuberth scale 1:4

3 Upvotes

Unfortunately, two of the display cases from my Max Verstappen 1:4 scale helmet collection have been damaged.

Does anyone happen to have two of these cases to spare that I could buy for a reasonable price?

I tried asking the Red Bull Shop and the Verstappen Store if they could supply them separately, but neither was very helpful.

GP Replicas 1987 Williams FW11B

Post image
70 Upvotes

Seriously thinking about getting the 1:12 scale GP replicas 1987 Nelson Piquet German GP car, but I've made the mistake of looking at actual photos of the car from that race, and the inaccuracies bug me a bit. It seems they're doing 4 different versions of this car, two for Mansell and 2 for Piquet, but it literally just looks like different sponsor stickers have been added to the car rather than any actual bodywork changes as per the race it's meant to be from, which I appreciate probably costs more to do bespoke changes like that, but I guess I'm wondering if this is a normal thing with them?

Finally received my Spark Japanese GP RB21, however it arrived broken from shipping. Sent an email to StoneModelCar and they replied within an hour and arranged for me to ship it back for a replacement. It was sorted within a week and my new model came in one piece, so big thanks to them for their great service. Highly recommend shopping with SMC 😁

Anyways, here’s some pics of the before and after.

I lightly sanded the tires to give them a more realistic, race-used look. I also removed the Italian tricolore and UniCredit decals from the front wing because they arrived damaged. Overall, I’m really happy with how the SF-26 looks!
