About f1scalemodels  

Welcome to f1scalemodels.  My name is Philip and this is my website dedicated to the hobby of diecast model car collecting. Apart from being a keen collector I'm also a part-time model car trader, trading primarily at several swap meets around the Sydney (Australia) area.

This site is always being developed and improved and at the moment the main purpose is to provide an up-to-date listing of models that are available for purchase at swap meets that I will be attending. As you can imagine it would be impossible to have all my stock at any swap meet, so if there are any particular models that you're interested in, please contact me and I'll make sure I bring them along to the next swap meet. This is an obligation-free service.

Check out the section called "What's New" where I introduce some new models that I've added to my inventory, also I've just added another list for my scale motorcycle models that I have for sale.

Mail Order
I've been asked a few times now if I do mail order; the answer is yes. So far I've posted to a number of interstate customers and also to USA and Sweden.  Australian customers have a choice of payment options: Direct bank deposit, money order or paypal. International customers will need to pay via paypal. Please contact me with details of the model(s) you're interested in and I will provide you with a firm quotation for postage.
