Its 1/18!
it lists for $190 but shipping was like $60 from hong Kong ...so pretty expensive but well worth it
It comes in red white and the matte gray too
Yeah Identical to mine except mine will have the Ti oval exhaust and this model has the 4 tip standard design
here are some better pics.. this is my first model from this company but it looks to be Kyosho/autoart(ish) level

The Good
First off the detail is really good it has the carbon pattern design for the trim and even the thunderbolts in the headlights. Interior has the red gauge and the seats look exactly right
The paint has metal flake in it just like the real car so very accurate
Cool carbon look platform to set the car on
The Bad
Doors and hood dont open basically its like a 1:18 version of a ebbro style 1:43 if you guys are familiar with those not the end of the world but not quite autoart
Final version has a front license plate and im not trying to remove it in fear of peeling the carbon overlay of
Doesnt have the Ti SpecV style exhaust
The Ugly
Over all good quality but a few imperfections in the resin nothing to major except on mine one issue does stand out. The wing pillar which is extremely fragile and had a little crack in it where the carbon look over lay had chipped off just a little bit. I took a black sharpie to it and now you cant see it just by looking. really you need like a camera flash to make it noticeable to where the black sharpie stands out on top of the carbon pattern
Summary
Detail I give 8.5/10. really good piece to have and accurately represents the NISMO. I would have like the door and hood to open so thats only thing that kept it from a 10
Quality I give 7/10 overall good but mine had a couple noticeable imperfections from the factory so it might be hit or miss on that
Overall im happy with it as it completes my office desk theme ive got going

Finally found donor wheels for this WIT'S Subaru 22B STi. Yes, you've read that right - DONOR WHEELS.
Why? When I bought this in Japan, I took out my screw driver (I bring one in trips where I can buy diecasts) to do my usual inspection. As I took it out from its base, the front left wheel suddenly took off. It made me disappointed, since it's expensive and I can't just sit still and see that car with a missing left front wheel.
Days have passed, and I decided that I've had enough. I had to do something. I had to make this purchase worthwhile. And just a while ago, I finally found the donor wheels that will fit in this car. Plus, they are also gold, similar in color to the original ones, albeit not BBS rims...

Went to the Lime Rock Park Concours event. And of course had to go to the model section...
There was obviously...a LOT MORE.
But rather idiotically I didn't buy that much.

The quality is great considering that Welly's are "budget" models. I highly recommend Welly's.

Nothing that special, but I thought I'd take some slightly better photos of some cars...
Would take some more time setting up stuff, but it's getting late.

I wish I had one of these. I have never even seen a model 22b before. They definitely made sure that the spoiler was accurate lol
