GTPlanet Scale model thread

One of 999 too. Man, that's such a great score for the price. Congrats. 👍

Thanks haha. It was posted on the 6th so to get here (Melbourne) today from Albuquerque is pretty damn impressive.

 

[Spacegoat]

It is impressive. 👍 I'm still waiting on a Kyosho 1.64 from Hong Kong that was posted on the 2nd. :/ Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days.

I was probably just lucky haha, anything I've ever bought from 'merica seems to take a gorillion years.

Bought this today, factory-made 1:72 scale M17 MGMC - an American anti-aircraft machine gun carrier based on M5 half-track, in a Soviet winter livery (they were lend-leased to USSR).
Kinda "meh" quality, I should upgrade it somehow. Especially these windshield armor pillars...

And this is what I'm currently working on, a Soviet 85mm AA gun (52-K), unfinished. The scale is 1:72, too.

The color may look ridiculously bright on the photo, when it was under such light, but it looks better in the flesh.
Soon, it'll have wheels, crew and a complete paintwork of course.

When I finish all my currently unassembled kits, I'll probably realize that I should stop buying factory-made military models. Because I'll see that I can make them better.

Does anyone know of any sized models of the Lexus IS300 Sportcross (wagon) or Toyota Altezza Gita? (First generation IS)

 

[Crash]

I don't think any models were made of the wagon, but AutoArt did make a model of the IS300 sedan. Not sure if that would be good enough.

I thought this guy has some nice sales, Ebbro's for not that much money..

 

[MedigoFlame]

The Lexus LFA came in and I must say, it's not as bad as the pictures! And the wheels are not chrome as the photos showed.

Much better than the picture! 👍

Hey 1:43 collectors, I was doing my round of 1:64 shopping and found this IXO Maserati MC12 GT1 and this IXO Lola Aston Martin 24-hr Le Mans for $8.41 USD. Thought you guys may want to snatch that up. I was about to until I remembered that I don't have a lot of room for bigger cars.

 

[Bleached]

Mostly seen (awesome) cars in this tread. Any airplane scale modelers?

These are the only planes I'll ever have:

I actually have extras left over since they never made their way into the shadowbox, like a Matchbox SR71 Blackbird, and Matchbox Grumman B-2. I'm either going to give them away or paint them.

 

[Rage Racer]

My 1:72 scale 52-K 85mm AA gun, 85% complete. More crew members and some more painting & toning effects are coming.

And a ZiL-131 made a year ago.
A Soviet 6x6 truck produced since 1966.
My first 1:72 truck kit model. Can't say it's done really good, but experience has been earned.

The last time I posted in this thread I was looking for motorsports diecast. I found a new car, but it's a "68 Chevy Camaro road car. I'm not sure when I'll be able to post pictures.

As for what you guys have showed: awesomeness.

This is the Williams FW14B scale 1/12. It took 3 months to build it.

What's the line in between the mirrored carousel ?

What's the line in between the mirrored carousel ?

The table consists of two plates. This is the reason of this line.

Ahh ok thanks

Never expected to see a fast car posing on a fluffy blanket usually used by babies or babes.

Welly 1:24 '68 Chevy Camaro. I did a quick and simple customization job on this car in replacing the license plates. I don't have a picture of the end result yet.

Nice Camaro Johnny. 👍

Here's my collection of 1:18 scale Mustangs




These cars look way better in person, trust me.

And finally, a 1:24 scale 69 Mustang Mach 1

So, I lost the driver's door handle one day, and I got mad and stuffed it in a drawer, and scratched the roof REALLY badly. I tried wet sanding it, and it messed it up even more. So now, I have to repaint the roof in a Ford Acapulco blue, which I think the color of the car is. I also have to find a door handle somehow, and a mirror, which is also missing.

 

[Johnny1996]

Thanks, nice cars, and good luck.

Contact the maker directly, or their local importer (you don't say who made it, so tehir website will contain the information you need), usually it will be free to replace, or just postage costs.

I could probably do that. The maker is Johnny Lightning, so I'll see if I can get the parts from them.
