My 1/32 cars


Hello again, today I am posting my last four 1/32 cars. I say the last because I have had many cars since I got my first SCX about thirty years ago. I remember Ford GT, Chaparral GT, Mercedes C111 Wankel, Audi Quattro, Chevrolette Corvette Dragster and Porsche Carrera: I have never had a Formula 1 car. now I am thinking about buying one.
