GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Ramanujan]

I have been looking for a Konami Signature model Honda S2000, for more than 5 years.
These were prices you could win while gaming on Konami machines in Japan if i am correct.
They come with a piece of tarmac and a railing or traffic sign. And they are made in a cartoonish way.
I already have a NSX and a GTR-R34 (With a missing spoiler form day one unfortunately.)

And finally a few weeks ago i found a S2000 for sale.

And because the guy had some more of these series i got 4 different ones from him.

A GTR-R34 with a spoiler, an Altezza, A RX-7 and the S2000.

And suddenly, Ruf.

@Holdenhsvgtsr
You did see what the selling price is?
And they should have made the wheels spin in the animation. Not just the spinners.

I get the feeling it's a case of if you have to ask you can't afford it

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of scale model of the UCF20 Lexus LS400/Toyota Celsior? Closest I could find was the facelifted UCF21.

Closest one I could find, but the facelifted UCF21.

Well, I live in the US. I'm into everything except muscle cars. I'd prefer 1:18.

Good as in these beauties:

Then collectablediecast.com may be a site right up your alley.

Road tough makes a Lexus LS 400 in 1:18. Gonna take some detail to make it decent though.

I'd find one in black.

Finally found this gem...

That looks like an earlier UCF10, but thanks for the info! Maybe I'll make a replica of my own car.

It is indeed the UCF10. Funny enough, I found that exact model (albeit in 1/24 scale) at a local flea market last year. I don't have any pictures of mine, but the details a little low.

So the latest... Spark Peugeot 405 "trio"...

And this...

​

aka...this...

​

Oh, and now i'm officially broke...

We can all be broke together.

I'm still waiting on AutoART to release the white BAC Mono.

 

[Vitocorp]

I hate you
I'm actually planning to get one of these during xmas

3 broke after buying aload of Aston Martin 1/1 LMP GTE bits and 3 models yesterday !

 

[Venom800tt]

Don't feel too bad, I am uber broke too. The recent Ruf arrival, along with two enroute 1/18's hurt a lot lol...

 

[AOS-]

I'm getting ready to be broke. It already hurts.

Speaking of, I've got my eye on that super cool looking V8 Vantage GTE from Spark.

Will never be as cool as mine

I love it, had DHH and Poulsen try to buy it off me but never letting it go.

 

[AOS-]

A neat feat to install lights on a model, but I can't imagine myself ever turning on the LEDs if I ever had one.

Plus, if I didn't already have it, I would have definitely put the Gulf DBR9 on the wishlist.

Kyosho 1/64

This will be posted on eBay probably next year, so if you're interested in the set, keep an eye out during that time.... or just PM me


This is the Vantage GTE I'd like to have:

I'm sold solely on the livery.

Too. Cool.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

The car is also race finished too

I have the gulf dbr9 took me 3 years to get one at a decent price

I've also got a set of wheels from an AMR-One, a camshaft from a DBR9 and also bits of this exact car.

 

[Venom800tt]

Was organizing some models earlier...

Rehashing some older news in regards to Ignition's 1/18 line (because who cares about the 1/43 anyway j/k *jab jab*):

No release date on this one still.

No release date on this either.

I hear there's a white and a red to be released next June, but didn't hear about a black NSX. If it's going to have the 7-spoke wheels, be lower to the ground and everything is black, I may have to consider it.

As expensive as Ignition is (compared to GT Spirit and some other resin brand), I like that Ignition makes lowered sports vehicles and offers them in a variety of aftermarket wheels. If I was more patient, I probably would have passed on the white Hakosuka for the red Hakosuka with Watanabe wheels.

And of course the Headliner series I mentioned earlier this year, Kyosho and Ignition partner up to make some top-notch (IIRC 3d-printed) resin models which so far we only know so far is exclusively rally cars. I haven't seen any later news on the subject.

 

[Venom800tt]

I have both the black FC and black NSX on pre-order lol
Also, a random brick has arrived:

^ BBR Top Marques Jeep Grand Chrokee SRT-8

 

[AOS-]

Who are you preordering from?

 

[Venom800tt]

Who are you preordering from?

The Jeep I had pre-ordered from BBR directly and my Ignitions from Amiami. Also pre-order some AA's from Amiami.

[Niku Driver HC]

Even with a 12.800 yen (that's over 104 dollars, folks) pricetag... Bloody hell, there is more than a demand for the LM55's scale model, goes to show you that regardless of how well (or not) the Vision GT project has been used, it IS popular in Japan.

I can already imagine what's going to happen with the Nissan, Infiniti and even Mitsubishi's models when Interallied releases them...

 

[AOS-]

And then AutoART makes one a year later

I've been looking for a scale model of the current Grand Cherokee SRT-8! I couldn't find any of the facelifted 2014+ model. Wish I could get it, but I don't have a real good reason for it, other than having something at work. (I work at a Jeep dealership)

 

[AOS-]

but I don't have a real good reason for it, other than having something at work.

You may be tired of hearing me tell you this, but if I can play the talk-you-down position once more, that's totally not a good enough reason to get this. I'd save it to fund the bigger toys.
