GTPlanet Scale model thread

Bought 2 models today.

BMW M3 GTR by Kyosho
Ferrari FXX w/ black rims by Hot wheels elite

Can't wait for them to show up. I've wanted that Kyosho for long time, but I had nowhere to put it. Now that I've sold my red Minichamps M3 GTR, I will be putting the Kyosho in my collection instead.

pictures por favor

Infact its about time i updated my collection pictures, ill have them up in a sec

 

[MustangSVT]

This is what they look like. I'll post actual pictures of them when they arrive.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Hooray, it seems that the Minichamps 1/18th Mclaren MP4-21 comes out today!

 

[Sting]

Congrats on the M3 GTR Stang. I have that one and am very pleased with it. I even bought the M3 CSL to partner it which comes with the little bag in the boot. lol

Cool. I don't have room for a M3 CSL (or another BMW for that matter), so my BMW collection is complete. In fact it was complete about a month ago when I got my M 635 by AA, but I decided to sell that red M3 GTR by Minichamps and get this silver one by Kyosho. So now I have this silver M3 GTR, an E30 M3 Cecotto, M5, M6 and Z8. No more BMW's in the future. 👍

What size is the M6? I've been searching for a 1/18th, particularly in white.

they are ok,maybe about the same as the 1/18 gallardo,you wont find a white one though,whitest they come is silver

 

[MustangSVT]

I have the same one in silver by Kyosho. Excellent model. I would say it's as good quality as you can get in premium models. To get to next level in quality, you'd have to look at AA's Mazda 787B or an Exoto/CMC/BBR.

 

[McLaren]

If they offer black, I might just be tempted to get one, then.

 

[Sting]

Don't think the M6 comes in black... not the Kyosho version anyway. It comes in Copper, Silver, Red and Blue.

I've got the silver M6 also.

 

[F1GTR]

The Wine Red looks the best IMO.

Wow that is a beautiful collection, very interestingly laid out aswell! How do you keep them all clean! must take alot of dusting... How do you mount the cars sideways on the wall, arnt you worried they may fall off?

TRobin

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

thanks....we really don't dust as much as we should but its really not that dusty there....and to get them on the side we used wire around the axels and nails to hold the wire so its pretty safe.

 

[McLaren]

Man, I can't find any LP640s in 1:18s, only 1:43s.....

Any help fellas?

EDIT*
Nismo, you must reveal who makes that RS Spyder! Please!

 

[MustangSVT]

The RS Spyder is made by Norev. It's usually around $50 I think.

Anyway, pretty interesting collection. Is your CLK-GTR the #35 by AA? If so, that's a rare and very nice model.

@McLaren - there's no LP640 in 1:18. Sorry mate.

 

[Sting]

Hmm, if an LP640 were to be made I'm reckoning it will be done by Autoart since they seem to do the current range Lambos.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Yea the RS is Norev...and the CLK-GTR is made by Maisto

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

picked these up today but not keeping them for long getting shipped to canada.

 

[MustangSVT]

Where'd you find those. I thought they were super rare nowadays.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

they are,they were hidden away in a local discount store,hence why the top ones box has been faded away from being on the shelf so long.

 

[MustangSVT]

Ooh, is there any more left? Hehe.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Ooh, is there any more left? Hehe.

i dont know i could try and ask when im down that way on thursday? but they are 40gbp.

Thanks for the info. That seems cheap for the Porsche, but worth it. EDIT* I see they have a R10 too. Hmm....

As for the LP640, looks like I'll have to wait then.

 

[MustangSVT]

You could probably try and make a lil profit for yourself. For 40gbp, I'd rather just wait for a re-release (if there ever is one).

I'm curious, does this place have any other rare discontinued models like the autoart clk-gtr or subaru impreza rally by autoart? They'd probably be sold by now if they did have something like that, but it's worth asking you I suppose.

 

[MustangSVT]

A few pics of the latest model I've acquired. Raikkonen's car from 2004. The McLaren-Mercedes MP4/19. Had quite some issues with the engine blowing several times.

 

[Sting]

Did that come with the West logos?

 

[Alex.]

some models in these haven't talked about that are new-ish(except diablo
)



more later

 

[F1GTR]

The Stratos is hawt.
