Many a times when I first got into this hobby, I never knew what to expect from the models available here. I knew what I wanted but never knew if it was good enough to get. It is mostly heart over head when it comes to this hobby but a good review of the car you want to get is always a bonus to help you make that final decision to spend your hard earned money. I was lucky to find two websites that I still go to every other day and ogle at their collection and read about their views about the models they have.
They are http://www.1-18scalecars.com . Many of you must have already visited this site by Dr. Ronan Donahue. Fantastic collection which he has now sold in favor of a new hobby, slot cars.
And another of my favorites: http://mini.werner.med.br/first.htm by Dr. Luciano Werner. Fantastic pictures and real fun to read reviews with his wicked humor. Also a great guy and if you find the time, do write to him.
Do not forget to mention here your favorite model site.
One more which is a great reference source to find out if the model that you have always wanted was ever made, is in production, will be produced, in what colors and what prices. Look no further than http://www.scale18.com This site is second to none in the vastness and richness of their database. 3 cheers to Kevin Pickell for the motherlode of diecast pictures.
