GTPlanet Scale model thread

[MustangSVT]

You can get it for $78-$79 from american sellers on Ebay, and shipping would be a lot cheaper as well..

Damn, loving those models^^

Well, I've owned these two (Panoz Esperante GTR-1, and Holden Racing Team '99 Commodore VT) for 6 years now... and they've never previously been removed from their boxes. They were sent here from Brisbane a few days ago, and the boxes recieved heavy damage during the trip... so I may as well remove them now.

Well, I'm happy. I've just ordered this AutoArt special:

Bought it through diecastmuscle.com, and managed to save $20 by not buying directly through AA.

It shall look very nice next to my red GT road car.

Nice models, hope there wasnt any damage to them in transport.
How well does the LZ7 perform then? I have the one down from it the LZ5, 6.0mp, 6.0x optical zoom, though i use my Canon 20D for my models

Just some photos of my last purchase.

My models aren't the nicest, but if you guys like these, I could possibly get more....

Thanks bondy . Unfortunately the Panoz did receive some damage. The left rear view mirror snapped off (had to stick it back on for the pictures)... and the Motorola stickers on both sides are beginning to crack. But I’m pretty sure that was caused through time.

Ooh, it's brilliant! The images are so much clearer then anything I've ever used before, and as you can see from the photos, it actually focuses on what you want it to (unlike my last pics). I've only had it for about a day now, so I havent yet been able to used its many features 👍

 

[Turbo Lag]

Jacoja, are you getting anything for your bday?

*stares in total amazement* I'm looking for those now.

Seeking opinions. I really want to buy this model:

http://www.cavallinomodels.com/products/displaydetails/Road/1970s/365/365 GTS-4/2049/

Or any 1:18 of a 365 GTS/4. However it seems kind of expensive. Anyone know about the quality on models like this? It seems that Mattel's hold over the Ferrari license means these things' prices are jacked way up and I want to know if I spend $120 including shipping on a scale model that it'll be the best. Opinions?

 

[F1GTR]

$100 on a Mattel?! No would be the polite answer. You should check eBay.

 

[bondy_1625]

Even if that were an Elite edition, which it isnt, it wouldnt be worth $100 doug. You could probably find one one ebay (like F1GTR said) for about half that. Its a pain but sometimes the model you've always wanted isnt made by a very good company, send a few emails to Kyosho and maybe they'll think about it!

I passed on this model at Toys R Us when it was about $15, and I don't really regret it. The model quality is toy like, worth at best maybe $20, $25. $100 is ridiculous for this as it's faaar from a quality model.

Nice Le Mans display you've got there David.

Pre-order, then, I guess. The place I've ordered it from said they would have some in 6 weeks; that was in the middle of June.

Thanks.

The box at the bottom is Villeneuve's 312T4. It doesn't quite fit into my sportscars theme and I'll need to get a seperate display box for it.

How much are those cabinets?

In the last six months, I've seen the vehicle for sale precisely one time on eBay, and it pulled in nearly $50. Not just factoring in quality here but rarity - everyone wants either the 365 GTB/4 or a newer Ferrari - it looks like I'm stuck and have nowhere else to go!

Ahem...



There are more that I've acquired since this picture too...
