Don't know about 50, but if I took individual pictures, we could keep going for a while.
Here are a few random pictures of cars I race on occasion.
1/32nd unknown vacform on a brass chassis.

GT Model 1/24th vacform on a Fleischman chassis (ugly but reasonably effective)

1/32nd Lancer vacform bought as is and frequently used, it is quite fast.(notice the added Fly mirrors if anybody has more of those, please do tell, I am running out)

And a Hippy/Happy/Hoppy new year to you all.

Please post some individual photos of your great collection CTK.

This is a Scalextric Ferrari F430.

A much campaigned Dino with a Betta body and Pitlane chassis. A fun car and quick.

Here are a few more (all 1/32nd)
Long tail P2 built by grafting a lump of balsa on the back of a Scalex P4. I sold this at a swapmeet near Paris a long time ago, weirdly enough around 15 years later, I found it on Phil Smith table and bought it back (for about a third of what I had sold it for). I will now race prepare for the vintage meeting at Champagne Mouton.

Straightforward build of the P2 fibreglass by J Bacon, both on Riko chassis.

Gianni Marzotto's Mille Miglia winning 195, Top Slot kit with Ninco underpinnings.

And just to show that I don't just do cra**y old cars, here is a more recent Testa Rossa converted from a Hong Kong toy. This is a really bad early job, and is on my to do list for a total revamp.

I just wanted to ask as this thread is in the 1/32 forum. I have a few 1/24 Ferraris, can I show them here?

This one is added to my wanted list, I haven’t seen that livery before. Nice car!

Yes, go for it. Wouldn't make sense having multiple threads would it?

Excellent, I will post them on here in a few days.

A few 250 GTOs - 5 Revell in various stages of modification, one Hong Kong copy of Monogram and one Jouef 1/43:

To my eyes, the Revell GTO is the best of all.

3 Ferraris entirely scratchbuilt out of plasticard.
Unfinished 512

F1

312P

It uses an ingenious suspended motor pod system (long before modern brands "invented" it).

The problem is that plasticard is unstable and they have become brittle, I dare not clean them.

PS: When Alan was saying 50 photos, he was understating the number. Under the heading Ferrari, the spreadsheet says 976, mind you there are some duplicates.

Nice collection Alex, the Fly 512 is in the top 10 slotcars of all time in my opinion.
Another favorite is the SCX 288GTO, if anyone has got pictures of those, please do post.

The Fly Lola T70 in the Sunoco livery really put them on the map in the mid 90s.....but the Ferraris were definitely game-changers. Lovely cars that were magnet fast and could be easily tweaked for non mag racing.....lots of vintage fans HAD to have them. A great collection, @alexis in greece !

Somewhere in a loft box I have a green seven up gto, think it was a limited edition, like the white F40 Tetra Pak.

 

[merkit the grof]

Green 7up is the best one, shame they didn't do a yellow Camel, that would have been great too.

Here is a car which hasn't been done by the modern resin guys, and it's a real shame because it is really good looking.
Decades ago, I found a lumpy vacform (done in the 60s by MRRC) and set to making a reasonable slotcar out of it, back then I used a lot of Ninco classic bits (driver, interior and wheels)

Although lumpy, the basic shape is really good (much better than the Tamiya version) I am quite pleased with the end results, but it clearly needs "updating"
