GTPlanet Scale model thread

[J-PaP]

Unfortunately the Maisto is the only XJ220 in both 1/18 and 1/12. While there are quite a few 1/18 90's supercars around, there are even more in 1/43.
Hmm, sounds like a good reason for me to take more group shots soon....

Oh, and I have 5 more models on the way, 2 1/18 and 3 1/43

That's really disappointing. I know a few companies do the xj220 in 1/43. Was hoping one of the niche companies would have done something. I may just get the 1/12 one in that case and hope it is better quality than the 1/18 is.

I've currently had to have my models stored in a closet for the past 1.5 years. It's sad to see them all boxed up out of sight but one more year to go till my new house is built and I will have a proper display to hold everything.

Some sick news (original article found here):

Kyosho and Ignition are partnering up to make a new line of high-end resin castings in 1:43 and 1:18. They call it: "Headliner".

Kyosho will secure the licensing, and Ignition will develop the models. The line up will focus on non-japanese historic rally & racing cars. Ignition will be 3D-scanning real cars and will hand-build these in low quantities.

The first batch coming this December will be all Alpines of different liveries and colours (I'm only showing a few. click that link above to see more).

In March 2016, there's going to be the following in plain red and a 1985 Tour de Corse livery:

And for 1:18, there's this in Safari 1977 and Sanremo 1978 liveries:

Annnnnd if you happen to be in Japan, go to this year's Shizuoka Hobby Show to see the physical models on display.

I'm here going ham right now.

Ok, here's my shocked face:

And now here's the face I made once I realized what will these car looks like:

I mean, Jesus Christ, Kyosho! Your cars didn't look good enough for you!? Now you're going for the ultimate wallet stealer, there's no way these babies will ever deprecitate. Just those Alpines enough are enough to knock me out, but Stratos? 5 GT Turbos? I mean, how am I even supposed to not say "Have all my money"!? I think not...

Japan's model world, never change.

What is funny is that Ignition was started from HPI's old diecast/resin business they ended a couple years ago. HPI and Kyosho are arch rivals in the R/C world

Holy hellcats, the Alpine was bad enough but Renault 5 Turbo and a Stratos on top of that? What an awesome trio.

Ooh, 1/43 models, neat. Especially that Toyota, it looks really nice. These older LMP cars had simple liveries, but they look so clean and smooth...

I can't display my models for now but at least I can keep collecting. I'll unpack these beauties properly once I move home. I'm waiting for the Veyron Pur-Sang 1:18 next and Maserati MC12 (Dark blue) but few to get till then.

I really loved the Kyosho 1:43 Ferrari collection they did a number of years ago. Who makes Ferrari models as good as the Kyosho ones were? Hotwheels Elite good enough (hard to tell from photos) or is it minimum Looksmart? I looked at Fujimi but they don't cover a lot of the models I'm after. I don't mind if the models are sealed. I need to update my Ferrari collection with models after the 360.

I really like the quality of their stuff, and would like to see them make a 60s 911 coupe.

I'm still trying to get a better set up (as well as better composition). But I gave a shot at taking my first set.

1:18 GT Spirit - Porsche Sport Classic

 

[Venom800tt]

Mmmm, that Sport Classic looks amazing
I really regret not pre-ordering it...
I also wonder how it compares to the much more expensive Spark version....

 

[Venom800tt]

Couple models arrived from Germany...

(Excuse the crappy phone pic, might take better pics tonight)

Oh man, those Alpines are gorgeous. Especially the rally cars, good god. If those are any indication of what's to come, then Kyosho's newest line of cars will impress many people...

 

[Venom800tt]

I need one of them Alpines. Bad.
Also ended up pre-ordering an Ignition Datsun 510 in 1/43. Will look glorious with my other 1/43 Nissans from IG.

Also, I don't know how many of you big-toy collectors are into to 1/64 to know that Spark did a small run on said scale to test the waters on how successful they would be with the Deltawing and TS030 models.

It seems they are confident enough to take another step:

Keep refreshing if the pics don't load. I'd have linked the images to imgur if Facebook even allowed it.

 

[Venom800tt]

Those look REALLY nice for 1/64's. Sadly 1/18 and 1/43 are my main scales

 

[yabiggoose]

Gotta be honest, I've always found Alpines very dull.

 

[Nessy]

Those Kyosho/Ignition 1:43 look truly awesome and everything, but Ignition 1:18, now we're talking.

Holy s:censored:t, THAT is gorgeous. Absolutely, 120% gorgeous. And I bet that the price is not so gorgeous, but still. It almost looks real, with that amount of detail...

 

[Venom800tt]

As much as I'd like one of those 1/18 Ignition S30 Z's or KPGC10 GT-R's, I'm gonna hold out for the similar AUTOart versions coming sometime in the future. I do have a couple 1/18 Ignitions on pre-order though, a NSX and a FC RX7.

 

[Ferraridriver27]

Well, I ordered yet another model, the first resin model for me and it also has a backdtory to it. My dad had a 1:24 diecast of it and I used to play with it as a kid. And as it happens with children I broke it. So this one is for him:

Wheels on the 991 Cup look horrendously out of proportion.

So do you have one? given that Carmodelz doesn't ....
