Since I am a pretty new in collecting, meaning that I collect models for about three years, my collection is not so big. It is based on italian vehicles, mostly Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati and Abarth. There are some other models, but about 90 percent of the cars are these four brands.
Mainly I collect 43 and small scale, but few 24 and 18 are included.
Mostly I'm interested in older obsolete models such as Polistil, Politoys, Mercury, Solido and some newer like Bang, Best, Box, and of course Minichamps, AutoArt and Kyosho.
These are the major representatives of my collection but there are more others. My collection counts about 400 models.

This is photo of my display cabinet which you'll se is pretty stuffed [SM=g27987] :

Thanks guys! Well, maybe it seems a lot for nearly three years of collecting, but some of mine coleagues has few thousand models, so I'm just a beginner. But, I'm happy because I try to build my collection in one direction and concentrate on some exact models.
Mainly I try to collect all Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati road models, but I'm more focused on racing, especially 50-ies, 60-ies and 70-ies of 20th century. My favourite models are Ferrari 250 GTO, 250LM and 330 P4, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Tipo 33 and TZ models, and one non-italian, but fascinating for me -Porsche 917 so I try to collect as many variants I can.
I wil post some pictures of my favorite models in detail, so if anyone has any questions, please ask.

First I'll start with my Alfa Romeo collection..

Mebetoys Gran Toros Alfa Romeo Tipo 33





M4 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale



M4 Alfa Romeo 33.2 "Fleron", Targa Florio '67



M4 Alfa Romeo 33.3, Nurburgring '71



Best Alfa Romeo 33.2 "Daytona"





This last model is very special to me. Why? Becouse this is the famous chassis number 75033.015 with 2.5 litre engine which was found in the 80-ies in some scrapyard in Angola after rich sporting career in Europe, America and Africa. Today, this car is restored and this is how it looked like in the beginning of it's life in 1968. in Daytona race with Andretti -Bianchi finishing 6th.
These are the photos of the real car during it's stormy life:
