My 1/43 JJ Lehto Collection - (some) pics recovered 18/10/17

[raystaggs]

Not sure what year this is from...but it's an early one.
*EDIT - 1991 found this...


Just looked through my pics and there's nothing else with any detail I'm afraid.

That's a cool looking design.

[raystaggs]

You can see a similar design on Kovalainen's lid too...

[oldfan]

first of all thank you very much for your reply and a big sorry for the late answer. I've had a computer crash, that destroyed everything here and i've got a new pc since friday. The Lehto helmets are nice, but it's sad, that there aren't any logos near the bottom on the back

Hey, man. I know its not 1/43, but here's an interesting thing I found on ebay:

Seeing as its limited to 5555 units you've probably seen it already.

[thetrooper]

If he sells it at the price it means some poor mug has massively over paid. You can pick up the 1:43 model for that price and sometimes slightly less.

I think I've got the 1/64 version... But not at £25.

Looking at the TSM set of the Marlboro McLaren F1 GTRs....

Just ordered the Spark Benetton B194 -









Anyone else think the helmet might be a tad small on this one?

I don't think it's too far off. If anything he might be sitting too low down. I looked at some pictures and that's what I think. So maybe you could pack the under the figure to rise him up a bit.

It a good looking model though.

[raystaggs]

Having looked at a few pics I think you might be right - perhaps it looks smaller due to being snuggled down in the cockpit. These pics (at Monaco) shows he's on the taller side for an F1 driver...





I also think the rear wing extension makes the car seem bigger.

[raystaggs]

Not much to add, but I suppose I should say I'm gutted about all the Photobucket pics going AWOL.

[Jager]

I think we're all feeling a bit like that.

I couldn't quite believe this existed until it arrived today (bought it as a birthday treat!)

Spark/Romu: Toms Toyota Supra GT LM - Zhuhai BPR 1995 (JJ Lehto/Yannick Dalmas)

That one is a fine model, sir! I caught myself considering the crazy idea to buy it but then common sense brought me down to Earth and decided to stick with my current collection themes, which is already wider than it should.

Brutal-looking car.

[Alfaholic]

You must have been good this year to deserve a present as nice as this!

[Jager]

That is excellent. I bet it took you all of about 3seconds to hit the 'Buy it' button.

[reeft1]

I agree with Ian. Looks fantastic.

This one was always on my list, I have the kit version, but I'm not going to be the one to make it, so this I the best solution for me...

Brutal-looking car.

It is isn't it> But it didn't do too well in the race, I believe that both cars struggled with handling on the bumpy circuit.

I try! My birthday falls at the end of my summer survey season, so it's a nice time to get a treat!

That is excellent. I bet it took you all of about 3seconds to hit the 'Buy it' button.

Almost true - I spent 5 minutes shopping around for the best deal! But as soon as I saw it I knew I was buying it!

I agree with Ian. Looks fantastic.

[thetrooper]

Love it and with full battle livery as well.

1993 - Arai logo??

[raystaggs]

The test car was even less branded....




There are conversion decals out there, but it's going to be a problem tracking them down....

Got a set of these decals through ebay - they're on the way...
