1/18 Tecnomodel McLaren MP4/1C

Lots of new models to unpack this week. Most were quickly shipped out to collectors but a few gems remain. Check Recent Arrivals.

Highlights include a series of 1/18 scale McLaren MP4/1C Formula One cars (with and without driver figures) as raced in the US by Niki Lauda and John Watson in 1983.

The Watson car is the 1983 Long Beach Grand Prix winner.

They have been produced in very small editions (35 or 40 pieces each), arrive in a full display case and have been decorated in the original verboten sponsor markings.

We have one example of each available. Check them out HERE.

We continue to be impressed with the quality and vibrant color schemes of the 1/18 scale TopSpeed IMSA GTP entries. The latest to arrive is the #10 WTR Cadillac in its stunning 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona livery. Our initial shipment sold out quickly but a restock is due to arrive by the weekend.

The 1990 Indianapolis 500, known as “The Fastest 500,” was won by Dutchman Arie Luyendyk, who led only the final 32 laps, taking the checkered flag for his first Indy 500 victory at a record-setting average speed of 185.981 mph, a record that stood for 23 years. It was a three-way battle with Emerson Fittipaldi (who led most laps) and Bobby Rahal, with Luyendyk passing Rahal for the lead late in the race and holding on to win the prestigious event for Doug Shierson Racing.
