Not sure if I've seen this one before . . . Did Tomica do this one as well? |

Yes they did, and the tooling is very similar if not the same. |

Yatming actually did two different castings of the 450 SEL. I believe this casting was the newer of the two (but I have no proof). I also have the Tomica 450 SEL, and the two castings are quite different. Light Metallic Brown: ![]() Darker Brown with less Metallic (Creamier?) ![]() Champagne: ![]() Golden Yellow: ![]() The other casting (slightly smaller, less detailed, no opening doors): ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dean |

Of the smaller version: Seems to fit in with other Yatmings- a group that was closer to 1:72, which included the Thunderbird, among others. 1061's a knockoff of the Tomica F7, although the grille detail's really third rate. I've had one in my collection for well over two decades now. |

That Champagne colored sedan from Dean is fantastic! I really need to keep an eye out for that one. Here's another 1061 color not listed here yet with same casting variations (modified rear bumper/base) seen on the Champagne version above. ![]() ![]() It's actually a little darker than the pictures show, kind of a sea-blue/green that is hard to describe. |

This casting looks so nice! I always liked how they had separate red lights in the back. |

When I returned the sea green 1061 to the case I took a closer look at the other Yatming 450 SELs in my collection. I found one other color not yet shown here, and 4 casting variations. First, the 1012 in a creamy yellow: ![]() Unlike the early 1012s with plastic base, this 1012 has a metal base. Here it is next to an earlier 1012. ![]() ![]() Check out the 3 different grilles on the 1061 and two different 1012s. ![]() So, the 4 Yatming 450 SEL casting variations I have are: 1012 -- Plastic Base 1012 -- Metal Base 1061 -- Original long, separate rear bumpers 1061 -- Modified bumpers/base, presumably for ease of manufacturing and elimination of easy damage issues |
