That stationwagon, what a beauty!

 

[Spacegoat]

The Buick clamshell wagon is so awesome, it reminds me of the "Family Truckster" from National Lampoon's Vacation.

Anybody know where I could get a 1/43 RS200 model for less than $100?

 

[Downhill Dino]

How's this?

 

[ilikewaffles11]

How's this?

That's nice thank you. Is there a white one by chance?

 

[Skython]

You could get a 1/18 scale RS200 for under $100.

I still regret not buying one I saw on Trademe.

The only other one is blue, sorry.

Good to see another RS200 lover.

I'm thinking about a 1/43 Maserati MC12 Vitaphone.

@EliteDreamer It's ok, thanks though.

I absolutely live the RS200!

I don't really like the MC12 Vitaphone livery, I'd rather just have it with the white and blue. The amount if models I want us ridiculous . I wish I'd just go into work and quite being so lazy. Here's just a few I definitely want.

BMW 3.0 CSL Race car (SPA)- $120 on EBay, can't remember the makers name.
'73 Nissan Skyline
BMW M1 Procar (red, white, blue livery)
Mazda 787B 1/43
Toyota 7 (red)- $70 on Carmodller.com
Porsche 944

I asked for the 3.0 CSL for Christmas but it was to late so I'll probably ask for some of this for this years Christmas.

 

[Skython]

The CSL IS AWESOME!!!!

Lucky for me I already have a 1/43 787B.

You're not alone with wanting heaps.

I want...

1/18 Mercedes SLS
1/18 BMW 3.0 CSL
1/18 Porsche RS Spyder (I might be getting one soon)
1/43 Porsche 906
1/43 Maserati MC12 (again, might be getting one soon)
1/43 Aston Martin DBR9
1/18 Audi R10.
1/18 Ford RS200
Lancia 037 of any size

Too bad none of these are available in NZ and it costs upt to $70 to get it shipped from US.

Don't need any more Vipers, already got a 1/43 Daytona Team Oreca and a 1/18 le Mans 2002.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Oh yes I forgot about the Lancia 037. I got my Nissan R89C on Saturday and need a 1/43 to go with the Nissan and my Minolta 88CV. I would try to get a Chapparal 2J and a Ford MKIV but the cheapest MKIV was $300 and the 2J was $200

 

[Downhill Dino]

Chaparral? ($90)Such a useful site that one is.

Oh my god thank you! I'm gonna have to go on this sight myself and see what else I can find.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Lot's of nice things are around there. Especially 60s and 70s race cars.

Sounds good, I found a site called Carmodller.com that has lots of nice older race car models but some are pretty expensive. That's where I got my Minolta for $60.

 

[Venom800tt]

<_<

Yeah, I have the Ricko Ricko RS200 lol
Would be nice if AUTOart or Kyosho did one though...

And did someone mention 037 and 787B?

Did anyone else get some flashbacks of GT4 from this? Lovely 787 you got there. 👍

lol thanks
The matte black 787B is a 1/43 made by HPI. The regular livery one is the 1/18 AUTOart one, though the pics of it I posted are old and missing the antenna/magnetic wheel covers. Might take new pics of it sometime...
The 1/18 Lancias are both Kyosho, while the 1/43 037 is also an HPI. HPI makes some really nice 1/43's.

YEAH!!! I found a Porsche 906 in 1/18 scale!

 

[terminator363]

Wait, so do you guys make these or do you just purchase them?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Both.

 

[Venom800tt]

Most 1/18 and 1/43 models are pre-built, although there are kits in both scales. Usually metal or resin though.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I purchase them, I know I'd 🤬 it up if I actually made it.

 

[Skython]

Me too. I can only make those simpleton ones. The Maisto 1/24 Ferrari's. Pre-painted and undetailed plastic piece for engine. They are for utter simpletons. Like me.

 

[Venom800tt]

lol I can build a kit decently enough, but when it comes to painting glossy bodies I fail pretty badly hah

 

[Antonisbob]

Wait, so do you guys make these or do you just purchase them?

I've never bought a pre-made one. They are like $100+. I could buy an actual car for that price. I build mine. Once I get some money though... haha.

 

[Venom800tt]

Another pic, this time a pair of 1/18 AUTOart Vipers:

 

[Mr. S]

I'm looking for a 1988 McLaren MP4/4, driven by Senna. Any suggestions? Looking for either 1:18 or 1:43.
