I wonder what became of Black Arrows tooling because their bodyshells, chassis and pods are/were superb.

The last of my retirement 'slot pot' has gone on this beast!
Beautifully articulated Mitoos chassis. Beautifully weighted. It even has lights!
Hoping to give it a run out at FDD5 next year.
I love puttering with gears

My first Thunderslot! 1966 Lola T70.
Could resist no longer when I realised the Slot.it Chaparral 2E would at last have something to race!
It is a lovely thing - quiet, smooth and super grippy soft rear tyres are perfect on the Scalextric Sport track.

I wasn't aware until now that this was Jim Halls 1970 Camaro in the capable (winning) hands of Vic Elford - TransAm - Watkins Glen

Never seen this one before so snapped it up on FB Marketplace.
A Fly Renault MKR Le Mans Truck from the 2011 GP.
Love the brutal/aggresive look of it, enhanced by the great graphics and paint job. Photos are a mix of the sellers - those with the woodgrain background - and those on the plinth from a Google search.
(Note the difference: That on the plinth has black wheels, mine came with silver I'm glad to say, as I much prefer the contrast on mine.)
Appears to be barely run.
