Their recent 1/18 and 1/24 castings stand up well in comparison to more expensive rival brands like Norev, Sun Star, Signature and Yat Ming’s premium lineup, but are somewhat inferior to Autoart, Kyosho, Minichamps or the “mint” brands (Franklin/Danbury). Not to mention that Welly has the only Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider, bay-window Volkswagen Kombi and Peugeot 403 Cabriolet in large-scale, the only acceptable Volkswagen Karmann Ghia in large-scale, and supposedly the only second-generation Volkswagen Passat (Quantum) in almost any scale in the works.</p> <p>This model can be got through Diecast Models Wholesale in white only in the US, but is available in red, black, white and French Racing Blue through many sources in Europe. Betcha dollars to doughnuts that you can only buy the Alfa in Rosso Corsa (Ferrari red) when it comes Stateside and that Welly or a third party will eventually make a special <em>Columbo</em> edition of the 403.</p>http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/26340943865http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/26340943865Mon, 02 Jul 2012 04:38:37 -0700peugeot504diecast1/18 scale1970swellywelly diecastingsedanssaloonsfrench carspeugot1/18under $40 USDworld carsiconic carspersonal favoritestop rated<p>I&#8217;ve returned to Tumblr after an assortment of personal issues&#8230; look for submissions almost every day!</p>http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/26125346281http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/26125346281Thu, 28 Jun 2012 22:26:39 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1mnxc4Dbv1rsajq2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>1960s Studebaker Champ pickup and Alaskan camper by Johnny Lightning, in 1/64 scale.</p> <p>Darkened lighting intentional…</p> <p>And Tumblr sees this pic before any other site…</p>http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/20101959872http://autoartinscale.tumblr.com/post/20101959872Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:48:47 -0700studebakerpickup trucktruckcamperrecreational vehicle1960sorphan makesclassic carclassic truckAmerican carsJohnny Lightning1/64 scale<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1l3w2iJ7d1rsajq2o1_500.jpg"/><br/> 1/24 scale Motormax Plymouth Horizon<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1l3w2iJ7d1rsajq2o2_500.jpg"/><br/> 1/24 scale Motormax Dodge Diplomat<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1l3w2iJ7d1rsajq2o3_500.jpg"/><br/> 1/24 scale Motormax Dodge Aries K<br/><br/> <p>Three 1/24 scale models given to me for Christmas in 2011.
