I've been following this forum for quite some time and have even posted a few times, but I have never gotten around to formally introduce myself. So here goes: I am Bo Christian Koch, live in Denmark, and I build and collect 1:43rd scale Indy and F1 cars. Back in the 80s I even manufactured models of Indy Cars, and my main interest is still cars from that era. From what I have seen this forum is a great source of tips, help and ideas, and I hope I can contribute too, even though I have a feeling that 1:43rd scale is perhaps a little bit too small for most of you...!

;D ;D ;D ;D....
Good one Art!
Welcome Bo! I love 1/43rd although I am probably forever hooked on 1/18th. I especially liked the AMPERSAND 1/43rds.

Bought several Ampersand kits off eBay. In the late 90's they would go for over $100 sometimes even on the unbuilt ones!!  I know I paid a lot for 1 or 2 of them but I didn't go into triple digits! It would be great to see more built from the 1/43 people here. One passion, many scales/media ;D Hopefully one or two will pop up in this off season's Build-O-Rama. Bo, feel free to join in the building. Also, if you have any kits left you want to sell, there are guys here who might be interested in helping you lighten your load! Jordan |
