TRIUMPH SPITFIRE IV BY Chrono

One of the most unusual 1/18 scale models you can buy, this British Racing Green Triumph is a brilliant piece that you should definitely have in your collection, especially if you're a fan of European classics.

Why is it unusual? Usually reserved for 1/36 scale, cheap models of Chinese origin, you simply don't expect a 1/18 scale car to have a pullback feature. Made by Sunstar/Chrono, this Triumph has incredibly minute details on every front - the hood opens up to reveal the tiny 4 cylinder carb motor complete with wiring and colour coding, the dashboard has beautiful wood paneling (looks more realistic than in the actual car, probably) and has the best headlights on a scale model you'll ever see. The paint bubbles pretty fast, though, but otherwise it's a fantastic addition to any collection.
