GTPlanet Scale model thread

I agree with you there, but obviously, I'm biased.

Does anybody know where to get an Nissan R92CP 1:18 from?
All replies will be greatly appreciated

It's never made in 1/18. It's only in 1/43. 👍

its a shame really cause it is a really nice car and would look very nice in the 1/18 scale.

AA will be releasing the Mazda 787B. So there's hope.

sounds awesome. is there an exact release date or a predicted date?

According to an AA rep, they hope to release it for Christmas but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[BlackZ28]

AA rocks, but you're right about not holdin' your breath. Theres been times I've had to wait months for a release or a revised release.

 

[Sting]

hmmm a 787B that sounds good, although when I emailed them once about the possibility of a Jaguar XJR-15 model they said it was in the works. But I'm not holding my breath for this either, i dont trust their time estimates. lol

blacz28 the reason UT models can be more expensive is a while back the firm went bust. they stopped production of all models at around the year 2000. i think! i cant find anyinformation on how they went bust or anything (if anyone finds anything lemme know ok )
but anyway since the company werent that old anyway they didnt get to make too many models in the long run
apparently the ferrari models are more sought after than most others
and i have a yellow f355 spider made by them so i definately wont be selling that one! also you probably will have seen my McLaren f1 GTR longtail road car
which i believe the company made towards the end of their model making life.
so if you can, get hold of some more UT models as they are getting harder and harder to find!

good luck! 👍

 

[BlackZ28]

Yup! I think I read somewhere that they were bought out by AA. Dont quote me there though, lol. While AA has better quality that UT, UT is MUCH, light years if you will, MUCH better than maisto, burago, welly, hot wheels, possibly gmp! But then again, everything is better than maisto, burago and welly.

that does sound cool. after looking around, theres not really much GTPs or Group C cars that are 1:18, but always 1:43 or 1:24. whats up with that?

Here's a few pics of the soon to be released Mazda 787B. 👍

👍 I dont have the money to fuel my die cast habit after seeing this....

thank god I've got a job interview on Saturday, cause I'm gonna be so poor if i get the models i want.

 

[twistedspoon]

And on the topic of Mazdas, have you guys seen this RX8 before? 💡

 

[bondy_1625]

OMG thats going on the want list!!

 

[Sting]

yeah i've seen it before but it didnt really do anything for me despite the 787B paintjob. 👎

 

[RACECAR]

[RACECAR]

on what better day then my birthday I all of the sudden see future AA models. pretty soon, GMP might want to step up.

 

[Sting]

LOL someone stole the wheels from the GT4 LM GT40, thats comical. Although thats probably the model out of those new ones I'd get. I love it from the GT4 intro.

 

[benzoboy]

Does anybody know if there are any Cadillac Seville STS 1:18 Models for sale in the U.K? Preferably in Gold or Silver

 

[MustangSVT]

Nice, there'll be a Mad Max Ford Falcon XB GT '74. That car's just awesome. Too bad I don't got money for AUTOart cars.

Anyway, in other news.

Today, I went to Costco again, and got 2 cars, a Porsche Carrera GT (black) and Porsche 911 Carrera S (997), both of them in 1/18 by Maisto. They were each $10usd, so it was a great deal. For me, the Maisto or Hot Wheels 1/18 cars are perfect, since AUTOart cars are like 3-5 times more expensive, I can't really justify myself to buy one considering I don't have a job, and coming from a poorer country in my childhood though I did have the part of a couple of nice Bburago cars, I appreciate any car I can get, so they all mean a LOT to me.

They also had some other koo cars in stock. There was a bunch of Merc SL55 AMGs, a Mustang SVT Cobra R, a regular Corvette Z06 in yellow (pretty nice), a new Porsche Boxster S (i think), and that Nismo S-Tune 350Z and the Maserati Spyder. Next time I go there, I wanna get the SL55, it was pretty damn nice, though I really don't have any more room for ANY cars.

Anyway, here's some pics from Maisto site.

 

[RACECAR]

Great Looking cars 👍

 

[McLaren]

Apparently it's spelled Specter Werkes. Anyway, looks like they're some kind of tuner, similar to Boss for Mustang's or something like that. Their other real car I found on the website seems nice too.

Specter Werkes Corvette GTR

They have like packages to add to your own Corvette C5, so it's pretty nice.

"Turn the key on the GTR and the open road is yours. The GTR personifies Specter Werkes' three point philosophy of design, passion and performance"

Uh, the Corvette model you posted appears to be a black Guldstrand Covette.
Its got the exact body of the 50th Anniversary model.

What about the latest GT3 RSR Dealer Edition by Minichamps? Just got one from eBay.
Must say that I love both the car and the livery. But I'll let the pictures speak for themself.

Link to real car: Porsche GT3 RSR

Next buy? Exoto Porsche 934 RSR

 

[Sting]

That RSR looks sweet, and yeah I'm another person who loves the livery. What the deal with the racing exhausts under the engine cover and then the normal exhausts under the bumper?

 

[induce]

Don't know. Some kinda waste gates?
