Recent Arrivals by Michael, on Flickr An order from the IXO website, all for the price of one Goldvarg model. I was impressed that the order arrived in under a week (all the way from Macau). The order does not really fill any holes in my collection but are nice and or interesting variations of models the I already have. 1917-25 Model T Roadster, 1970 Mustang Boss 302, 1980 Granada Chasseur Turnier, and 1984-86 Sierra XR4i. Recent Arrivals by Michael, on Flickr I'll put detailed photo of individual models in the appropriate themed sections.

Very nice additions!
Even though I don’t like 1:1 Model Ts very much I must confess that I like your 1:43 model a lot!

Very nice, I do like the Mustang and the Granada most of all, have driven both. I have an Ixo Mk2 Granada estate but in a single colour, may have to look for the Chasseur version. Also need to have a look at Ixo's website.

All 4 are nice additions to your blue oval collection

All are great, but the Granada stands out for me - I've always liked the clean and simple lines of that car (and our similar XD/XE Falcon).

It is a nice model, even though (like the other members of the trio) it is undersized and would have looked better with Ro-Style wheels (which Minichamps makes for the Capri).

Thanks for confirming the scale issue. I have the same model and it looked underscale to me (and the tyres are too low profile IMO). I still like it, though.

That’s a nice model regardless of the slight undersize issue.

Very nice looking model even though those Fords don’t speak much to me!

Nice Taunus, I have an older model of one I believe, probably a Minichamps. I recall seeing a very nice one when in Sweden in metallic green, sadly for a while it 'failed to proceed' as Rolls-Royce used to say.

While scrolling down, your first picture of the model in the box, at first glance I thought it was a 1974 Matador!

My first Trax purchase of 2024 is the XC Falcon Sundowner. Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr The card reads 1977, but with the Blue Ovel on the grille, it is a 1978 model. The FORD letters on the hood should not be there. Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Overall I think it is a great looking model, but in my the opinion the front is a minor failure. Trax should have done a better job. 1978 Ford Sundowner Vans (Aus) by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr Ford Falcon 500 Sundowner (1978) by Trax by Michael, on Flickr
