GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Rage Racer]

There's a 1:43 Ferrari I have, an F2001 with no sponsor decals and black nose. I first thought it's kind of faulty or something, but then I googled the info about it and found out that Ferrari ran this livery on Italian GP 2001 to honor the victims of 9/11.

That was a fantastic gesture in tribute. Very dignified.

Amiami has this gunmetal S30 for 30% off: 17710 yen at this moment. It's unusual to find an IG for under 20000 yen.

There was the green S30 that was also for a lowered price at carmodelz, but now it's gone from the page entirely.

Amiami do have these 30% clearouts from time to time, I bought my red AA Huayra there with 30% off.

I need to find a way to be notified somehow. I remember the red 240Z HS30 was at a low price for some time.

Edit: Hey patty cakes, GT Spirit says that they'll be making this thing and will have it out by December:

 

[AOS-]

I probably shared news of it, but here's a pic (found on no other than DiecastSociety) of Ebbro's 1/18 version of the '15 NSX:

Isn't it just swell how the livery distracts your attention from analyzing whether the body proportions are correct?



Also, AUTOart confirmed with me that it is set in stone the Carbon Blue and Carbon Black Pagani Zonda Revolucion will be re-released late December (save for any expected unforseen delays).

 

[MSZ]

I have placed a preorder back in February for one of these NSXs, still don't know when is it going to come out.

I placed a preorder for a smaller version by BugZee for a planned July release, and it's still not ready and released to this date. Also still waiting for IG's NSX. Gotdamn: first world problems.

On a brighter note, I'm glad to have been informed last week the 240Z has been distributed and mine has already shipped.

As much as I'd like that GT Spirit GT40, I'm gonna hold off and wait till it hits the shops, I ain't gonna pay GTS's absurd shipping prices anymore. Same for Otto, I will just wait and order for them as well. Don't understand how it can cost 45 euro to ship from France, but shipping from the UK or Germany is less than half that? I get models from Japan for cheaper when it comes to shipping...
Anyway I ordered another Otto, because big V8.

I have cancelled the August order from GTS last month, because I realized how stupid it is to pay 80 euros for shipping just two models from France. I won't even pay that much even if they ship from Mars.

As a result I am still waiting for the purple RWB to pop up on CK.

 

[AOS-]

I should have waited for the RWB to pop up on CK or Modelissimo, but I miscalculated my numbers and forgot the applicable 10% discount, resulting in spending an extra $20.

Bad economy I think it was.

Well I kept my purple RWB pre-ordered since the GTS tuners tend to disappear fast from retailers. Which means if I don't have the money at the time they pop up on CK or Modellisimo, I am out of luck. And neither shop offers pre-orders either.

Bad economy I think it was.

Can't be THAT bad, lol. Only thing I can think of is all those strikes at ports in France. Maybe GTS/Otto need to strike some sort of shipping deal with DHL...

 

[MSZ]

Yea there is a good chance that I won't be able to get the purple RWB on those European shops. If that happens so be it.

I have a feeling that we will see some crazy colours of the RWB 993 from AUTOart. I may end up buying one of those too.

 

[AOS-]

Ebay has this one listing where a dude sells the 993 for about 190CAD shipped. That's roughly the amount I paid.


edit: eBay will also eventually have this particular 930:

AutoART Wangan Midnight's Blackbird.

Right meow, I'm saying yes to it mainly for the aftermarket wheels.

Online exclusive Ignition Nissan Fairlady Z S30 (blue with watanabe wheels). $329 CAD shipped is exactly how much I had to pay when I preordered mine in March. You ain't paying a dollar more, and you probably won't find this particular one on amiami nor carmodelz.

 

[Venom800tt]

A couple new 1/18's, though one of them isn't exactly a diecast model

 

[AOS-]

There's a kit thread if that's the case.

Anyway, Be smart and grab these LookSmarts:

lol, the little Fiesta is actually a 1/18 scale R/C from HPI. Doesn't look TOO out of place when sitting next to other 1/18 models

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I think I have a knack for the Isetta...

Isetta problem that you do?

Was bored so I took a pic of the bottom of my 250GT SWB without the belly pan:

 

[AOS-]

Sweet. I talked myself out of the Blackbird. I also sold my Hakosuka, E30, and XJR-9 recently. Lots of money lost, but I am clearing up storage space, and will continue trying to filter out less desirable models.

A certain gas station is having a promo of 1:24 scale models. There are only three to choose from: Aventador, R8 LMS, and this:

 

[ShobThaBob]

Anyone know where I could find a model of an R32? A non race model.

 

[CodeRedR51]

AutoART Wangan Midnight's Blackbird.

Wish I could afford to get these.

You like to wish, but you actually can afford it.

nicecardiecast.com has AutoART models.
carmodelz.com has Ignition models. eBay also has Ignition models.

Oops double post.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You like to wish, but you actually can afford it.

If you pay for my moving expenses next month, sure.

 

[Vitocorp]

DEFINITELY not my scale but I couldn't miss the chance to grab this one from an italian seller since the R92CP is one of my favourite racing cars of all time.
7.50€ postage for an 15€ item, honestly, our national postal service is absurdly expensive.
Probably one of the very few (if not the only) 1:64 group C.
