GTPlanet Scale model thread

[TheGranVette]

Modelissimo.de has some 1:18

2006 model (made by Spark)

2009 model (made by Norev)

Both around 50€, the 2009 winner is 99, but it might be a pricy sending cost to the US

Thank you. Might look into that.

Are there any 1:43 or larger Audi R18 models out there yet? Any sites or companies that plan on making them?

 

[MitchZ06]

Doubt there will be until next year or the year after (once Audi evolves it a bit and allows the previous version to be examined).

On another note does anyone have any experience with HPI Diecast?

So I'm almost finished sanding down the car:

why didn't you use paint remover? Or is it a plastic kit? It seems to be die-cast o_O

I did use Paint remover on some places, but at times it didn't seem to be working as well.

I have just aquired a beautiful 1/18 model of Hannu Mikkolas 1982 Scottish Rally winning Audi Quattro, stunningly beautiful limited edition with Audi coloured box. I shall post pics tomorrow.

Nice one MildAshers, I'll be waiting for some detailed pics
I have my second addition to the (small) family ordered, pics will be up when it arrives.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I love that Audi.

 

[disinfected]

Anyone have any Aoshima 1/24 wheels they'd be willing to part with? This RX-7 came with some super tiny ones.

 

[poolhaas]

My second Diecast has arrived yesterday.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Awesome, I've been wanting that for awhile.

I picked this up at the ALMS race.

My first 1:18 Spark.

Very nice Super Trofeo. My Lp670-4 should be shipping very soon. 👍

 

[poolhaas]

Had the urge to buy it after seeing it at the 24h of Spa

Nice 911 Nismo, great livery aswell.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I must get that Martini 911! I found it on the Spark website but I don't see how I can order one.

 

[bonobo4]

I myself love models, but I haven't got any scale model cars. Though I like some of the ones that I've seen here.

Those have to be the best model photos on this site.

I always have the urge to buy something when I am at the races. Must resist, but can't.

That Lambo has nice livery.

The 911 looks good as well.

Hey guys. Not posted in this thread for years!

I recently bought my first new model in a while, a Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R R-Tune in black. I have 2 x R34s and an R32, so when I saw this R33 I had to get it! I dont have any pictures yet, but I'll take some over the weekend with my other Skylines.

Heres the pic from the AutoArt website:

I like your Gallardo poolhaas, what make is it?

 

[poolhaas]

It's an AutoArt aswell.

 

[rocko100]

Im looking at this but I dont know where to look. Does anybody know where I can get an R10 TDI model?
EDIT:this is pure awsomeness

If you're willing to build it from a kit, Revell Models make an excellent 1:24 Audi R10. I know because I have it semi-made. It's a very difficult kit to make though.

When I was at the 24h of Spa a few weeks ago, they had a TON of models on the official circuit shops (yes, shops - plural). Many scales and many different models from different ages of racing, and ranging from Touring, F1, GT, LMP, etc.
Had to constrain myself not to spend money on those, as they looked really good on the shelves.

The most expensive one they had was quite a few hundred Euros, though I can't remember which car it was. It was an LMP though. And it was big and packed with realistic details all over.

Just look for any 1:18 model by BBR, you'll be 300 - 400 euros lighter

 

[Beerz]

Yup, they're very expensive.


That's why I love 1:20 and 1:24 Tamiya models. Much cheaper, and I get a lot of fun putting them together. Plus, they mean a lot more to me that way. 👍

My mom won't get me any kits until I finish my F-15E Strike Eagle, which I haven't touched since January. Also I lack painting skills which is why I usually buy airplanes that are solid color.

 

[Beerz]

What were you using to paint? Airbrush? Or straight from the cans?

 

[bonobo4]

Not sure if this thread includes this or if it is justabout cars/vehicles, but right now I'm loving WWI models, especially tanks and aircraft.

(Not mine, but mine is exactly the same. It's the Red Baron, and it was a kit.)

Spray-cans and for detailed parts the enamel in the little glass bottles.
