Featured in this video are my exclusive series of Brands to Collect or AVOID, Spark in 1/43 scale.
Spark manufactures the widest variety of race cars in 1/43 scale, period. Yes, more than IXO. If you want to collect 1/43 scale race cars, rejoice. Why? Because nobody does it better than Spark.
Porsche, Audi
and Volkswagen came to Spark to reproduce their cars and cars to sell to their loyal customers. Teams such as Pfaff Motorsport come to Spark to make cars that they can sell exclusively through Toronto Motorsports at IMSA races. Other teams, Kremer and Walkenhorst, contract Spark to make cars that they can give to VIPs.
If you are a serious collector of 1/43 scale race cars, you are going to collect Spark. I know of several KZfaq collectors who only collect and review Spark models. The good news for the afflicted and addicted is that Spark makes more cars than you collect or afford. So, get as many as you can and enjoy.

The Falken Livery on the Porsch is so iconic

That car was one of the first Sparks I bought. It is still one of my favorite. Want to by the sister car to add to my collection of famous Porsche Pairs. Thanks for watching.

Thank you Toni. I couldn't agree with you more. Spark collecting is addictive and will probably lead to me going broke and my wife leaving me...😮

Do you keep your models in their packaging or do you take them out and display them in a case or something?

@markzebr6463 Ай бұрын

Very good question..I have an entire wall full of 1/24 scale Nascar cars and (2) smaller display cases for all of my 1/64 scale and only 29 of my 1/43 of which I rotate. I have about 259 1/43 scale cars. Plans to display more are coming up. Next week I leave for the Shaleen 6 hours at Watkins Glen and will have some cool paddock tours starting Thursday

Spark is my favorit by far...I m glad to also have this 917 / RSR box set. I ve got the Chance to get it signed be Lietz, Makowieki & Bruni this year in Le Mans. By the way, the car is from Le Mans 2020, not 2019 as you said...

@markzebr6463 7 ай бұрын

I am envious about getting your set signed. Congrats...Yes , thanks. You are right about ot being 2020..Thanks for watching until the end. I should intentionally make mistakes toward the end of videos to determine who actually takes the time to watch it.

i like spark but get ixo equivalent that is cheaper if available

i agree 100%. I have found that the IXO prototypes to be of very good quality in 1/43 scale. Almost all of the IXO in 1/18 scale are excellent except the Ford GT. Thanks for watching.

If Spark had Ferraris, it would be my favourite brand, now it's Bburago

I am told that Looksmart race cars are made by Spark. Excellent cars just too darn expensive.

@@markzebr6463 Yes they are made by Spark. Looksmart produce their own road cars, but contract Minimax (Spark) to produce all their race car models.

Thanks and welcome to the channel. I have around 350 model cars reviewed and release a new one every Friday. This Friday I will show the 25 unopened and unreviwed Spark and TSM models that will be coming up.

Allow me a recommendation: If you like the double box-sets, also check the ones from HPI Racing. They are just exquisite!

@markzebr6463 7 ай бұрын

Ive seen an HPI triple box set. Price was fair at 175.00 USD but, you had to apply decals.

i dont consider a short macau race a premier class

@markzebr6463 4 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. Macau is more of an all-stsr race as it is a single driver sprint race.

what is a good online usa source to purchase Spark collectible cars? thx just getting started with this.

@markzebr6463 Ай бұрын

Hi. That is a good question. 90% of all models that I purchase regardless of brand are through Ebay. I have no local model dealer anywhere in the state of Virginia. I got to know Toronto Motorsports at racetracks. They have both Spark and TSM 1/43 scale. Toronto Motorports also have an online store. They have great sales of up to 50% off after Christmas through March. While shopping on Ebay don't be afraid of buying models in foreign countries. I have purchased models from all over the world. The one country I would avoid at all costs is JAPAN. The prices there are outrageous. Spark models retail for about 100.00 USD or 80 Euros. I frequently get deals as low as 25.00-50.00 USD. High demand and newer models 80-100.00. and super premium ie. Hertz Porsche 963 125.00 USD. Any further questions, reach out to me at markzebr@gmail.com. Thanks for watching.
