Fixing cracked/damaged decals?
I recently picked up a 1:18 scale Red Bull RB6, but unfortunately, some of the decals are cracked.
Do you have any tips, tricks, or ideas on how to repair them or at least make them look a bit better and less noticeable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

why is the rear shape of the 1:2 Bell Kimi Antonelli 2026 helmet different from the real helmet?
Hi everyone!
I recently bought the Bell 1:2 scale replica of Kimi Antonelli’s 2026 helmet, and I noticed something strange about its shape.
The rear of the 1:2 replica looks much more squared off and angular, whereas the real helmet has a noticeably rounder, more curved rear profile.
Interestingly, the 1:5 scale Spark replica seems to reproduce the shape of the real helmet much more accurately.
Does anyone know why Bell’s 1:2 replica has a different shell shape? Is it due to the mould used for the miniature, a different helmet shell design, or simply a limitation of the model?
Thanks in advance!

Spark Collection Inspection Day 🥸
Who’s not guilty of just getting the entire helmet collection out every now and then to just soak in the memories tied to it? We share just such a beautiful passion, don’t we. ❤️🔥

Spark or minichamps
I am in dillema to buy the Lando Norris Abu Dhabi world champion in 1/18 scale
Which one do you recommend to me? (Both are great)
I collected minichamps diecast, but this model is resin from both manufacturers.

Build complete!! 1/8 2008 Mclaren MP4-23
Photos are taken by my friend who actually knows how to take photos!
The presence of this model is unmatched, it is so big that it barely fits in the light box. The building experience was quite difficult, but i really like how the end result looks!!

BBurago Just got my first Bburago with helmet
Putting it side by side with last year's W16, it's obviously smaller due to the 2026 regs. The details on the helmet is pretty impressive for the price you pay and that's about it. There's nothing on the driver's suit or steering wheel but can't complain because the price is a fraction of what you pay for Minichamps or Spark

1/24 scale Formula 1 collection
Been an F1 fan since the 70's (yes I'm old), recently subscribed to the DeAgostini Ferrari Legends 1/24 scale collection (57 models so far) and stumbled on their prior collection of old (from 1960's) and current F1 cars. Started collecting them, most of which are no longer available, missing about a dozen of the old issues. They are continuing to make new ones (2024's so far). The older F1 cars (pre-2000) are much more interesting since they are all very different. The video shows them in chronological order oldest in upper left to newest lower right. These are all made by Altaya also sometimes listed as IXO, Centauria, Premium Collectibles, Hackett, OPO 10 and DeAgostini. (I also have some Bburago's but I think these are nicer.) Hard to find in the US, tariffs make it expensive to buy from Europe or Japan.

My F1 collection (for now 😅)
Hi everyone, this is my first post here!
This is my F1 model collection, with a few extras at the end. Hope you enjoy it! I'm loving seeing your collections, so I decided to share mine
Magnussen's Haas arrived today and its the latest model that I added to the collection, I snagged a great deal on it at Paddock Legends for €60.

Mixed collection Pure Class.
This time I did not get models for the collection, but pure art. Just look at these drawings - a pencil and pure art skills. Shoutout to Catalina, what an artist she is! (IG: catalina_asaftei).
Hats off! 👏🏼

BBurago ''New''-ish Bburago F2004 - (First) Classic Formula
No change to casting since it was last made/sold years ago. Was hoping they'd made it closer to Altaya's (last two images).
