    Just picked up several Cararama's on eBay UK last week. Here's what I have:

    1:43 - Foxfire, Red, Blue, Proton (yellow), Silver
    1:72 - Foxfire, Blue, Purple (Peacock?), Silver

    I believe Cararama made them in only six colors, so right now I lack a 1:43 Purple/Peacock, a 1:72 Red, and a 1:72 Proton/Yellow. Should be picking up the 1:43 Red this week though.

    Having looked over all the models in Cyrk's collection as well as the Japanese guy's website, I really do think the Cararama/Hongwell models are the best quality. Too bad they didn't make anything in a 1:18 scale.

    The "Purple" 1:72 is like the one in my fuzzy hole. () I believe the Peacock is really a teal color, like Sprey had, officially "Blazed Peacock Mica". The 1:43 in my pic is more of a blue, so I don't think it's a Peacock, but the 1:72 I have (not pictured) is definitely Peacock. IF there is a 1:43 purple, I'll pay a purty handsome ransom to obtain it!.....Anybody???

    Well what do you know? I have what appears to my male eyes to be identical medium/bright blue 1:43 and 1:72 models, but I wasn't aware there was a teal one out there.

    Sounds like we'll be gunning for the same model. But maybe I have an inside edge since I already asked the typical UK sellers to contact me in advance if they find them.

    And I'm still on the hunt for that 1:72 Proton.
