Bringing things up-to-date, well, nearly - but more of that another time, what were in July's parcels?

           

Well, patience pays. Never thought a 'second-user' NSR 86-89 F1 would come my way but here it is - and in a decent, easy to see livery. A bit like the Pioneer Legends cars, when these first came out I fancied getting one - but didn't expect to, so when this came up I moved fast. Again a quick offer with a promise of immediate payment did the trick. The rear tyres had been changed and the mirror closest to the camera has some score marks but other than that it's barely discernible from new. Came complete with case, card backing, etc. Likely to be a home runner/shelf queen though as there's no F1 class at the B St E club.

The Ninco Megane was on 'clearance'. Originally a Ninco 1 the body has been transferred to a Lightning anglewinder chassis. A Ninco Megane was one of my first 'serious' 1/32 buys at Gaydon 2018 as I loved the radical paint job, wild 'body kit', anglewinder chassis and proper alloy wheels. This colourway really rang my bell 

           

August: Didn't realise what a mix I was buying but again, love the Fly trucks - or at least, the Sisu. This Ebay purchase cost less than a new Scalextric generic-resistant F1 car - including postage! Missing mirrors and the aerial, with one twisted wiper still to be sorted and the bumper mesh loose it's cleaned up really nicely and joins the truck fleet. It does have one paint chip where the glare is on the corner of the bonnet but all the 'scrapes' and 'rubs' from barriers and other trucks have polished out nicely. 

Apart from the NSR F1 all the cars/trucks have 'buddies', another of the same class to race against at home, or to give me a choice at the club. So .....

The last car is the Legends Coupe. I ADORE this car. I don't think it shows off to  advantage in photos - but in the hands - Wow! It's exquisite. This one will remain unchanged as the black bumpers, etc. suit it well. This one came from Inaslot's own website, thanks to a heads up on here - and was cheaper than my bargain red sedan - and eBay.

Up to date? Well, there are four more I've bought this year that I'd almost forgotten about so when I've got the pic's ......
