Herpa 1:43 scale model - Audi R8 V10 Plus

Herpa, hey? That's an interesting choice, but it's awesome. However, they're mainly known for this:

The best 1:500 scale model planes.

I may or may not like boxy Benzes...

But the 300SEC really is a legend.

Right so UK people, where is now the best place to buy diecast models?

I haven't really bought one for a while apart from a Kyosho Lamborghini Veneno, but that was from a car museum. Now Autoart are teasing a new 240Z and RWB Porsche, so I think I might be getting back into diecast purchasing, but I don't know which places are best for new releases anymore.

Hey everyone! I want to order a 1/43 from Germany and the seller will send the item through German Post. Will the car come in a week? Has anyone ever received an item via German Post? Last time I bought an item from the UK it arrived in a week via Royal Mail. It will be shipped to Canada.

My collection was supposed to be only "RS" model 911s before I got carried away and started getting Turbos, GT3s and GT2s. Anyways, here they all are for the first time together, I believe this is all RS models available in 1/18 scale, not counting RSR. I have a GT2 RS, but I completely forgot to include it in the picture.

(Forgive the quality picture, the lighting in my room is not so good)

Mail delivery:

As you can see, I'm upgrading from an RT/10 I scribbled over 15 years ago , and left to collect another 13 years of my dead skin cells. I'm thinking of putting that up for 99 cents just to pass it off to anyone who wants to mod it.

 

[Venom800tt]

For a Maisto, the 2013 Viper is pretty good, perfect modding material. I added side windows and painted some things.

You went for windows, I'm going for art livery.

[Vitocorp]

At least it has the base...

Not sure if I've posted those but anyway...
Waiting for a Ferrari 310B 1:20, a cheap and old Maisto, 24€ including postage, brand new, hope it is good as it looks

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Maisto 1/18 Chiron. Got it in red and blue. No idea why though.

GTS new preorders are up, they gave me gold member status even though I am not eligible for that, and they lowered the shipping to North America to just 9 euros! That's amazing.

Says 9 EUR in the cart, but when I go trough the ordering process and arrive at the shipping section, it's still 45 EUR.

That's weird. I've just checked my account page, it is 168.8 euros total with shipping. Two models(79.9 each)plus 9 euros flat rate shipping.

Maybe it will work after I create a new shipping address. I see why I shouldn't believe this after reading this email they sent out:

Dear Collectors,

Summer has barely finished yet the end of the year is approaching fast. It's time for us to present our new line-up of GT Spirit models. But first let me introduce myself, my name is Laetitia and I will be your new customer service representative for GT Spirit. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me, I will be happy to help.

You will immediately see that there will be no models in the month of November. We are currently expanding our factory and we had to stop our production lines for several weeks. We preferred to skip a month and start with a good foundation in 2017: our goal will be to deliver the models by the 15th of each month.

Unfortunately, October models won't be delivered until late October. In December, however, we promise to have all our December models delivered well before Christmas!

Maybe some of you know, we have been working with Kyosho on the launch of the 1:18 scale Japanese line: Samurai. We are now continuing to develop our partnership with Kyosho through a new line of Sports cars and Italian Supercars. As the first model in this new collection we are offering a Lamborghini Aventador 1:12, the official launch of this line is scheduled in 2017.

Finally, to finish on a very good note, we will be working in a partnership with DHL (first for the club, followed by the shop), we have been able to drastically lower our shipping costs for far-flung countries like you asked. In order to offer these drastically lower prices, however, display case are no longer being offered with the 1:12 scale models or with three 1:18 models.

Go on-line and discover all our new models available this season!

Best wishes,
Laëtitia

I'm glad they're working with DHL. I know from experience they do offer lower prices than some other international couriers. Now eBay stores won't have to be considered an option!

On another note, I missed this news about their Samurai lineup. I look forward to what they will be offering. Perhaps now I won't have to invest wholeheartedly into Ignitions.

 

[MSZ]

The Samurai line has been out for two years, my RCF does look very similar to your typical GT Spirit release. I knew something was up between those two companies.

Autoart says these are expected for Q1 2017:

78150 PORSCHE 993 RWB (WHITE/GUN GREY WHEELS) (COMPOSITE MODEL)
78151 PORSCHE 993 RWB (GREEN/GUN GREY WHEELS) (COMPOSITE MODEL)
78152 PORSCHE 993 RWB (BLUE/GUN GREY WHEELS) (COMPOSITE MODEL)
78153 PORSCHE 993 RWB (RED/GUN GREY WHEELS) (COMPOSITE MODEL)
78154 PORSCHE 993 RWB (MATT BLACK/GOLD WHEELS) (COMPOSITE MODEL)

So while GT Spirit has covered the purple, and Autoart has the white, the last one I wanted to see happen was the silver one.

OH YEAH BOY... But it will probably set me back $300. However, I'll do whatever I can to get one of these awesome models!

All weapons work and even has the roof panel! I wouldn't mind collecting the Jaguar and Thunderbird from the film too. An AutoArt DB5 would be the ultimate companion for it though

Do all Amiami orders come with an illustration card? I like it.

Anyway. It's super low-profile tires for sure. I wanted to believe in slightly thicker walls, but alas I must face reality. Oh well. I'll be taking pics when I don't have Rocket League telling me to play every night.

I don't keep those cards, I normally just threw them away out of the box. I once showed my wifey one of these and she wasn't impressed. lol
