GTPlanet Scale model thread

That looks ace, but that price tag is in-freaking-sane.

It hurt a lot when I shelled out the amount I paid for the R33. I can't imagine anyone with good reason would justify shelling out THAT much for this scale.

What cars by what brands in what scale are you hopeful for? Unconfirmed release desires.

EDIT - With me for instance, I would like to see a Kyosho 1/64 scale DB11 release. In black.

You talking things that there are currently no plans on making? Because I'd love to see Spark make an older 1/43 Viper GTS-R. The Ixo ones are a bit outdated and aren't the most accurate. If I could get a Spark GTS-R Team Oreca #51 from Le Mans in 2000, I'd be one chuffed chap.

That money can buys me two of these: (Im still thinking about getting one)

 

[MedigoFlame]

Apologies for the terrible picture. Haven't found a place to store these yet and take them out of the box, but I ended up getting 3 models from my work. The price was a little hard to resist...

Thinking? Isn't that unquestionably cheap?

I want one in other colours.

A word warning for those getting into collecting rare and hard to find 1:43 JDM cars(J-Tin)...thanks to real world boost In 80’s to 90’s Japanese vehicles, that same hype and value trickles down to the models...I want a civic eg for my Honda collection, but I’m skeptical of dropping nearly 500$ for a small little delicate model..


these prices are outrageous. that’s 2 to 3 decent 1:18 Autoarts... or 1 great one. This hobby pisses me off sometimes.

Looked for those for fun on eBay and found all of them for less than €130 After 5 minutes... At the exception of the Spoon

why are these not popping up on my search???

I started watching Initial D and almost impulsively bought a 1:18 AE86 from AutoART for $262 CAD. Almost. Talk me out of it (or not).

 

[TurboTacho]

Cool. I didn't know there's a diecast scale thread in here...

Seeing as he is from France, I would be willing to bet that they don't ship to the States (your search is probably limited to people willing to ship to your location).

 

[DeathSmiles]

Most I have spent on a scale model is $300. Anything more than that and my internal freakout mode kicks in. I can't ever spend more than that on a scale model, no matter what scale it's in.

I have a question for the thread as I've been looking for some time to try and find a scale model of the Toyota Auris estate
in black or dark blue colour?

I see plenty of models of the hatchback but the reason I am searching for the estate is my brothers owns a 2015 model and has always wanted a model of it as well.

Can anyone advise if one was made, ideally I was looking for 1:43 scale or smaller!

Thanks for any help!

 

[Kedmasterz]

I think it doesn't exist ; there is previous Auris by minichamps but no 2015 model. Sorry [made some research only concerning 1:43]

I bought mine years ago for $130 CAD.

The one you are looking at is the new plastic body re-release.

Finally got them all! Better pics to follow, the Jag has the neatest feature for the rear tailgate I've ever seen on a model and the rockets on the side of the doors are hidden perfectly.

AUTOart would be mighty expensive nowadays. Then again, so would Ignition models.

Keep tabs on cars79.com. They're based in Alberta.
Or check nicecardiecast, based in Quebec, but be careful as Chrome has marked that site security is outdated.

Thanks, I suspected that was the case but perhaps one day there will be one.

Some recent 1:43 pickups, I have completely ran out of room for anymore 1:18, so I’ll be sticking to 1:43’s for awhile. (2nd fav scale) gotta stop spending so much at one time... but I always buy in bulk. 8 models ain’t bad, when I usually buy 20-30 at one time lol.

Bah, even the one without any opening parts is nearly $200 USD.

And yet another oddball car added to the collection:

1992 Yamaha OX99-11 prototype

See this is the best part of when your collection gets passed the cars you sought after, now you start adding the odd things.

Ferrari post.

Been trying to track down a Red/Tan (1:18) HW Elite 360 for years, and finally found one!



And these1:43 Resin Ferrari’s are insanely
cool and insanely detailed.

I have a weird obsession of wanting to buy models of cars I've experienced. Working at a BMW dealership has made me want more models and randomly found this RMZ City BMW M550i at my local grocery store.

After being disappointed by the Tomica BMW Z4, I was still craving a 3rd generation Z4 model. Found a Kinsmart Z4 on eBay, despite that I can't seem o find it on Kinsmart's official site. Looks great! Kinsmart seems to be getting better and better as they go, compared to RMZ's poor quality. A shame it seems like my grocery stores are dumping their Kinsmarts for RMZ City models.

Have a random OX99-11 pic:

 

[alex1369]

Usually im interested in F1 1/18 models, but this one i had to have.
911 RSR 2018 Le Mans 1/18, i could have chosen the pink pig, but i simply wouldnt be happy with it.
Even i know it won the race but pink on porsche is not my thing so i took the beautiful blue one. And im really happy with it.
I really like the race car, its my first and hopefully my last car. Cuz you know as a collector once you but the first one you cant stop. Then buy this, that.... only F1 wich i have 98 models
