Thanks for the comments. Though my collection is still lacking some iconic cars, like the Schumacher and others, I am pretty happy with it.

Painting those hollow sides is a challenge indeed. Important is that you clean the insides well with washing agent and preferably with a cleaning sponge, one with smooth on one side, and a rough side on the other. With the rough side you can score the surface a little, which helps the paint to stick. I then first spray the horizontal part on the wing. When that has dried enough, I spray some paint on a scrap piece of lexan, then use that as "painter's palette" and dip a thin brush in it. With the brush I paint the inside, taking care not to touch the walls with the wooden part of the brush, so I don't rub off the just applied paint. It's a bit tricky, but I manage to get a solid color fill of the hollow sides that way.
