Yeah I collect Aussie muscle cars from biante and classic carlectibles. So far have got a couple of Falcon GTs - XY, XA, Chargers, Toranas (Brock/Richards A9X now worth twice as what i paid for it), couple of Monaros. Waiting on Moffats XA GTHO four door :evilsasmo will be a good investment as far as model cars go hah.

I've got the 02/03 HRT Skaife car and the '00 HRT Skaife/Lowndes Bathurst car. Thats as far as my collection goes. Would like to have more but don't have the room. My uncle has a pretty big collection and I hope mine would be like that one day.

I don't have a big collection. I got a die cast Ferrari F50, Jaguar XJ220 and an american cadillac limo. I'm mainly into the plastic kits you build and paint yourself. I've got a red 360 spider, a yellow Dodge Viper, a White Porsche 911 GT1, a Blue WRX STi, a red Ferrari Testarossa and whole collection of rally cars which is nowhere near completion. As you may have noticed, I'm really into the exotics.

Yeah but they are not model cars they are replicas. The true meaning of the word model means to assemble.

My interest in model cars began at Sandown 2004. Model cars seemed very popular with the boys that day.

I've always wanted to collect them but there are so many brands I have no idea which ones are of good quality and sure to grow in value and those that are cheap and nasty. I used to look on ebay for them but I never forked out for any which I wish I had.
Can someone list some good brands, I've heard the best one for aussie cars is biante |
