GTPlanet Scale model thread

[RCKakashi14]

So I contacted the Audi dealer and asked if there are new scale models, since the Porsche dealer didn't have anything new at all.



Then the salesman told me that they have the R8 in Ara Blue.

And so I purchased it, since I believe that blue fits best on an R8.

I think I will wait for the webshop colour or Asian edition.

Like everyone else hur hur hur.

Pre-ordered something:

I never buy 1:18s, but I just have to collect the car which is the sole reason why I got into Porsche fandom and collecting. :tup:

He got under-the-table pricing if that number is blacked out!

👍

Seriously, I made an initial payment of 22 USD.

True cost: 182 USD.

 

[MSZ]

182 sounds about right.

As much as I love 911s, I'm not getting the blackbird.

 

[AOS-]

That Chau guy who was asking 400 USD for the VLT Porsche relisted it for 300 USD now.

Yeah I passed on it too over time. The wheels caught my attention, but it also detracted it afterwards.

Since this is the early version of the Blackbird, it should have gold mesh rims as seen in anime, manga, and even in the WMMT games.

Then one day, this popped up in AUTOart's releases

 

[AOS-]

Gold mesh? In that case, I'm definitely not interested anymore!

Caption reads "Kyosho Exclusive Japan Edition", and in the url it says Otto......

Kyosho is a distributor of most 1:18 brands in Japan, and they paid Otto for the Asian exclusive editions, similar to CK's GTS webshop editions.

I got this 1/43 HPI Subaru Impreza Fujitsubo model today, a model that I've been wanting to get for awhile.

My first One Model is here, and it is impressive:

 

[AOS-]

Hot damn. Where would you loosely place One Model on the tier list of brands? Who does it sit above and below on it?

Definitely way better than the low tier brands like GTS, Topspeed and Otto. I would rank it slightly better than HPI/Ignition Model. It's a shame that they only do Honda and Mitsubishi in 1/18.

 

[Ramanujan]

They should not have lowered it so much.
Looks way better as ebbro did in 1:24.

Plus it looks like they overdone the leds in the rear spoiler.

Good to know there is an IG competitor. They may expand out to other makes in time. They do offer stuff other resin brands dont make as much of, so there is a good chance they'll continue to take advantage of this opportunity.

I'm still waiting to see a '70 Celica in 1/18.


Oh.

yee.

Yea it's always good to see more competitions, I would love to see a 3000GT/GTO from any of them, that is one car which I would pay top dollar for, even though I have zero Mitsubishi models in my collection.

Some more future IGs I found on Boost Gear:

Want to see more photos of those wheels.

Probably not a photo of their model, but it is at least a different paint finish than Make Up's. Also sad to see that front splitter isn't there.

edit: Oh hey look what Peako has in store for us:

edit edit edit: did not know such a thing existed:

It's a BBR Ferrari 488 LM

 

[MSZ]

I knew the 488, however I didn't know it was out already.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

OMG. That looks so awesome! There's no way that's a model car.

 

[AOS-]

@ProjectWHaT, The photographer knows how to set up their lighting, that's for sure.

 

[Ramanujan]

More stuff from Impression.

I only see this 488 for preorders. A very similar looking 458 GT2/3 (i don't know who's right or wrong after looking several places) looks pretty good as well, but this 488 is quite solid in a colourful livery. TBH I kinda want one.

 

[Populuxe]

This just arrived. Matrix 1:43 1967 Alvis 3-Litre Graber Super. 247 out of 408 pieces.

 

[Ramanujan]

Matrix 1:43 is nice, i just recieved the Alfa Romeo disco volante spyder.

"Whoa hey February," GT Spirit says:

 

[SPhilli911]

Ohhhh nice. I'm looking forward to the rest of the March models.

 

[AOS-]

Yeah the star wheels are pretty cool looking on this.

Oh Im also keeping count on the Porsches you "aren't going to buy more of".
