The lack of depth to the panel lines is about the only problem I have with the Kyosho 675LT. Haven't decided on if I will get the Kyosho diecast or the TSM Top Speed resin yet...
Also I have 4 more 1/18's on the way. I really need to slow down...

Panel lines is an easy fix, I can add lines on it anytime. Top Speed has some weird stance and it doesn't even have taillights, which kills the deal IMO.

Yeah, the TSM has its share of issues too. Probably just gonna pass on it till better choices show up like the Almost Real if it is any good. Hopefully it is though, judging by pics I have seen of the Land Rover Defender.
 
Now on sale in my country:

Honestly, I am not sure how AUTOart can justify $70 more than the GT Spirit and only has opening doors and steerable front wheels over the GTS.

Surprisingly, AA does have a lot of fanbois on their side and those suckers buy anything they made, as evidenced on forums like DX and AA's own Facebook page. I once saw a dude said "Don't like it? Don't buy it" In-freaking-sane.
 
What, now AA is making one too? Well, in all honesty I've wanted to sell my Spark 991 GT3 RS anyways and I'd much prefer opening bits. Plus, the AA will be significantly cheaper. :lol:

Hope they fix those rear wheels too, should be deeper in the centers than that.

There was news about the AA GT3 RS and 675LT at the German Toys Fair a few months back. The samples didn't make it to the show so this is the first look.
 
I might get that depending on the colors and price. As much as I like my silver Spark one, silver is just such a dull color and the fancy colored Sparks were Dealer Editions. GT Spirit hadn't announced theirs when I bought the Spark either, lol

The Sparks were the first on the market and prices (on the dealer versions) went insane. Had I known before that GT Spirit and now Autoart would make their own versions I wouldn't have even bought the Spark. I dunno how much mine is worth now, but the wing was damaged when I bought it. I'll be happy to break even, but at this point who's gonna shell out that kinda money on a model which exists at much lower prices from other brands. Unless someone really, really wants a dealer version, I suppose.

If AA makes an Ultraviolet color version, I'm sold. Or Birch Green. Or Riviera Blue... :sly:

Ultraviolet and blue are on the AA release list.

Oh Minichamps will have their own RS too.

Nice! Thanks for the info. Minichamps aren't bad either, I like that we have options here! Really comes down to color for me, and although I like my Birch Green Spark with the black "GT3 RS" decals, it's worth a good amount.
 
And this! Not an interesting color, but I still like it over the other one they had. The dark blue/ gold wheels. I wonder how hard it would be to put the gold wheels from my blue one onto this? Hmmm...

The first question would be is "do they have screws holding the base together?" If so, it's probably cake.

It's easier than taking a Tamiya apart, I've unscrewed my GTS E92 before because it arrived with almost all interior parts fell off. I took the model apart and glued them back together and like you said, it's a cakewalk.

Suppose you're right, can't be too hard, though, I've never looked closely to the underside of a GT Spirit yet. It's super easy with Norev, but I ran into issues with an Autoart (both were 911 GT3 RS 3.8s). Couldn't get the underside bits off to get to the rear wheels of the AA.
 
I noticed something strange with Ebbro.

As you may or may not know i collect their premium models (1/24 and 1/20).
(In case of doubt check www.ebbropremium.nl which are my cars, among other stuff.)

And I also collected some of the pre-release cars.
In the process i got a pretty good view on their car numbering, so it was strange to see some of the older and really well sold out releases comming into the market again.
I just checked their site and they are re-releasing the toyota 2000GT in white and silver.

They are now numbered 24030 for the white one, which was 24003.
And 24032 for the silver one which was 24006, and at the time limited to 1000 pieces!
Best guess from me is they are coming with the red one as 240031.......
Maybe a NSX-R in 1/24 also later.

Looks like they run out of ideas, and went back to some old stuff.
They really are burning their own products that are limited production runs with this.
If they ever produce something that looks to be rare, don't believe it, they will just do another run.
Which i found out much earlier when the numbered 1/20 race cars were sold also abroad in other boxes without numbering.

In case you didn't get them when they were cheap, there looks to be new offerings at hand.
