GTPlanet Scale model thread

[MustangSVT]

The Red/Black Veyron is scheduled for release by Autoart but I'm not sure about its ETA. There are some major differences between the concept and the production car though. Make sure you know which one you like before you buy one. 👍

So there's another Veyron coming out from AUTOart? I don't want a red one. The one I want is the blue/black one as shown on Top Gear driven by Jeremy Clarkson through Europe or as shown on the cover page of EVO magazine if any of you know that.

I was planning to buy the blue one in like 6 months from now? Are you saying that the current Veyron is not the production one? Do you know if they're gonna make a blue production as well though, or just red.

There is also going to be a Silver/Grey Veyron, which in my opinion looks to be the best of all the colour schemes, and I dont even like the car much. lol

Ok I'm kind of lost here. Initially there were 4 colors to the concept cars, right? Now they're producing the Veyron, but in what colors? I thought only blue and gray went to production.

Anyways, how can I distinguish between the concept red Veyron and the production red Veyron?

Thanks!

P.S. : twistedspoon, that's a beautiful Porsche collection. Have you seen the new white Porsche ( I forgot the model ), just like the one you have, but with the white rims?

EDIT:: BIG NEWS EDIT, I've won the AutoArt Subaru Impreza 22B that I was watching on eBay and I got it for £75.00 Thats gotta be a bargain considering I've seen the 22B go for over £100!! I'm going model mental on eBay, first the #51 Viper, then a ViperGTS (seller still needs to tell me shipping price) and now this Impreza 22B. I'm watching a few other items so if I win them, I'll take a few pics to show.

Hey congratulations for your 22B. 👍. I saw many pictures of it and they were all ugly, but the real one (the model hehe) is beautiful.

and the best one in my opinion is the plain body white version. Plain body versions of race models seem to look awesome. The plain body WRC Impreza looks just as sweet as the GT3. Nice collection of Porches.

You mean like these?

GT3-R and GT3-RSR


GT3 Cup

Yeah like those. I also forgot to mention the plain body version of the M3 GTR, they are also quite nice.

You must be talking about the Porsche Dealer Ed GT3-RSR. Cheers.

 

[VIPFREAK]

I'd still go for a plain black body CTS-V but there's no way in hell I'm paying $80 for one.

No more black anyway... only white

how about $70?

 

[VIPFREAK]

Nope... Maybe $50 S&H included but it's not that good of a car.

 

[VIPFREAK]

I've also been trying to find this also in Hotwheels but I ain't paying more than $50 s&h included. They are so not AA quality. Euro shipping kills everything too because it's over seas I guess. $30 for s&h... ? give me a break.

 

[GT4Mania]

No it's not exactly that one. I think it's the one you posted right before. Actually it's my bad I said the rims were white but they're silver, with the chrome (or chrome-like) ring. The body's plain white.

 

[twistedspoon]

OK. I'll try to answer all the Autoart Bugatti Veyron in one post.

The ones Sting listed the are all concept cars. All of them are the same except for the grey/silver Veyron which has a different set of wheels on it. The serial number for the upcoming production Veyron are 70906 (Black/Red) and 70907 (Black/Blue).

To be honest with you, I get confused decipher which concept is which.

Here's a black/red Concept Veyron (Click Here). Note the chrome on the bumper separating the red and black paint. Now here's a black/blue Concept Veyron. Without the chrome on the bumper (Click Here).

Here's two more black/red Veyron. Note the side of the car just behind the front wheels. Click Here and Here.

Now here's a test car with turn signals not seen on other Veyrons. Click Here

And finally here's a comparison between the concept (Click Here) and production car (Click Here). Note the revised position of the headlight and grill. As a matter of fact, the shape of the front of the car has changed drastically from conept to production.

Now I've only pointed out some of differences on the front of the car. There might be many more detailed differences in the rear and interior of the car. So I think everyone will have to do their own research as to which is which and decide for themselves which one they want.

Cheers.

Kyosho.... opinions people. I need to know if anyone has a model made by these guys and if they are any good?

 

[VIPFREAK]

They still make dicast models? Seems like it's been a long time since they have. They were good quality, probably more so like 1:12 scale. so they might be expensive. That was my impression anyway.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

i love that cts-v

 

[twistedspoon]

Kyosho.... opinions people. I need to know if anyone has a model made by these guys and if they are any good?

Kyosho is one of the best manufacturers out there for 1/18s. As a matter of fact, I've got 3 Kyoshos in the past 2 months that were better than Autoart quality. Granted, all three that I've bought were dealer edition 1/18s.

I'm surprised that collectors aren't aware of their products.

Here's a picture of the LMR. IMO, it's better than the Maisto simply because of the fact that the Maisto has grooved tires on when it didn't even rain at the 1999 Le Mans! A 'proper' LMR should have slick tires.

 

[Sting]

Thats a nice looking LMR model, so is that one Kyosho? Teh reason I ask is because I'm watching a Kyosho BMW M3 GTR and I just wanna see if the price is justified.
The model certainly does look sexy!

 

[twistedspoon]

Yes, that is the Kyosho LMR. As a matter of fact, I have 7 different LMRs from Kyosho. Here's a picture of 6 of them before I bought my last one late last year.


The M3 GTR is very well made; this is one of the 3 dealer edition Kyoshos I was talking about At least the Kyosho version is replica of a real street car. Unlike the Minichamps version where they put colours on a all out race car and calling it 'street' when it's really a fantasy car.


BTW, are you guys sick of seeing me post my pics yet?

 

[Sting]

Nope, I love pics. Like to see what models other people have. So twisted, the Kyosho M3 GTR is probably the best version to get right?

 

[VIPFREAK]

Damn it Twistedspoon, if you're gonna be twisted and post nice pics of your models do ALL your Vipers with a black backround in 1280x1024 and send them to me.

HEY HEY don't you say anything about my Minichamps M3! Haha just kidding I think it's beautiful even if it's really a "fantasy car" that'll never be on the streets.

And no I'm not sick of you posting pictures . It's just that you sometimes make me jealous hahaha.

 

[twistedspoon]

Nope, I love pics. Like to see what models other people have. So twisted, the Kyosho M3 GTR is probably the best version to get right?

I prefer Kyosho over the Minichamp simply because I the the V8 M3 GTR is road car is rare. It's so rare that BMW only sold a handful to middle-east collectors.

I'm sure there are those collectors that would prefer the 'fantasy' car because it's more aggressive looking. Granted the Minichamps M3 GTR is also very well made. I have two fantasy M3 GTR (which I'm planning to get rid of someday) and one dealer edition M3 GTR race car.

So pick and choose your car wisely. 👍

 

[twistedspoon]

See what I mean?

You guys should join a dedicated forum to get more info on 1/18s.

 

[twistedspoon]

Damn it Twistedspoon, if you're gonna be twisted and post nice pics of your models do ALL your Vipers with a black backround in 1280x1024 and send them to me.

Sorry Vipfreak. My Viper set hasn't seen any (pic) action for a while. I've been too tied up with my new 1/18s.

Guys, I can't keep up with all your posts.

 

[VIPFREAK]

Well put aside all the ****ty cars and Give em some "action" then. Or... Send then to me and I'll give them some "action". Wow, that sounds worse than I thought.

 

[twistedspoon]

I thought you have your own #56 Chamberlain and other rare Vipers. What else are you missing?

 

[Sting]

Send then to me and I'll give them some "action". Wow, that sounds worse than I thought.

that said, I wouldn't put it past you.
Silver ViperGTS Bburago model that I want finishes in an hour +44mins. I think I've become addicted to eBay

I DONT HAVE THE 56 CHAMBERLAIN, GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE!!!!!!!

 

[VIPFREAK]

I need the Red w/ white strips GTS-R but I'm not going to get all the AA racing ones like whoever it is the lucky bastard that posted that photo. But that's besides the point. DO IT ANYWAY! Now! Please??

that said, I wouldn't put it past you.
