P38 Mini Me's

please excuse bad phone photo

in process of moving so still have an unpacked box and not including the unmade models as well as the ones the kids have around to play with (when they visit they know not to touch uncle John's cars)

Once the shed/man cave is in I have to get an old glass shop counter to stuff like this in.

yes its a sickness.

Its a no brainer kinda movie. You go along for the ride.

I came to the conclusion there would have to be a car chase soon, and the P38 would surely get blown up. Alas no. It lived to fight another day. Yippee. Not sure why they would pick a P38 for an evil dictator (actually Ben Kingsley acting an an actor, acting as an evil dictator).

Are they gaining cult status (I know they already have in our minds)?

It's funny you should mention the appearance in movies. I think the majority of British police serials seem to have the bad guy (usually living in a country estate) driving a p38. They also appear in ads and on labels from time to time. Not sure what brand it was but the green heavy duty car wash had the p38 on the label. I'm sure you'll probably see lots in the latest Dianna movie as well :p.

Mine live in an old glass fronted book case in the entrance hall. I am forever under pressure to get rid of the book case, let alone the p38's :(
