I presume you'd never be brave enough to race them in competition.

I managed to snap up these old 1/32 Airfix kits off ebay.
I got the 3 for £50.01, the Porsche was the one I ended up in a bidding war (sorry if it was anyone on here) that cost £22.
I'm going to do a little more research on the cars and come up with the race livery, the Ferrari I am 99% sure of what I'm going to do and it's not red
I'd love to find a Ferrari 315s or 335s body to build and race the Ford.
Look forward to figuring out making brass chassis' for them, keeping as much of the model internals I can.

I remember being very confused by the Airfix artwork for the Carrera 6 as it looks like its racing through a farmyard.

I rarely buy new cars these days (I've got far too many waiting in my "to be repaired" and "to be repainted" boxes), and I'm not altogether sure this one counts as 2024. I ordered and paid for it on the 23rd December, knowing it wouldn't be dispatched until Jan 2nd........
When I first saw images of the new release, I was pleasantly surprised that the livery actually says "Embassy". However, the display box has a disclaimer sticker on warning that the car has advertising that may not be appropriate for under 18s.

One-up for the rivet counters among us???
Best regards,
Stuart.

Thats a good point, it's too modern a car to be racing when the likes of Donington still had buildings and lodges right next to the track or is it a attempt at a Targa Florio type scene?
