I tried to sell a Gran Turismo Autoart Skyline R34 some time ago in the market section but it's not a good place to sell anything here. Tons of better plattforms out there.

Specific Facebook-Groups for the model manufacturer working the best since you'll find specific buyers and everyone sees your post instead of having to search for it on ebay, etc. + the biggest online fleamarket site in your country (and ebay of course in most countries).

Hi guys.
Can someone tell me if Autoart 1/18 cars have rolling wheels or not?
I'm considering of getting a black NA2 NSX-R while here in Akihabara.
Also, how is the quality? Never owned any as you can tell by my questions.
Apparently they have ABS-plastic body with zinc alloy "underbody"(?).

Yes rolling wheels on metal and (at least the only one I got (Lexus LC500) in my collection in) resin. I would say quality overall is ok (considering the pricetag of often 300 €+ "only" ok) but that depends on the model. They sometimes have problems with liverys on racecars/tuning cars but that is not just model x has it it's more down to each individual one while most beeing fine some can have bad applied sponsors or stripes.

Also all AUTOart models have rolling wheels, as do most opening diecast/plastic models. Only most resin models lack rolling wheels.
Anyway the NA2 NSX-R is one of the better modern AA models, I have the white one myself:

And here is a legendary pair of cars.
This was the golden era of GT and the beginning of the Japanese series.
The Advan livery is tempting to classify the car as a member of the Taisan team, but they were not the only ones.
Team Kunimitsu, named after founder Takazashi Kunimitsu, fielded a red Turbo 964 in 1994 JGTC season. The co-pilot was none other than the legendary Keiichi Tsuchiya👑.
✒In 1994, when JGTC had just started, they did win at the stage in Sugo. Later in Mine they lost to the F40, taking second place. This is despite the fact that the team did not perform in the first two stages (out of five). Everyone was still catching up to the new championship. And in Fuji at the third stage they have not reached the chequed flag.
✒In 1995 (yellow-green PB livery), when other teams seriously joined the game, including semi-factory Japanese ones, the best result was 3rd place in Fuji.

Found that model from a shop in Akihabara, but decided not to buy it. 200+ euros ain't cheap and I've already spent more then enough on this trip.Also all AUTOart models have rolling wheels, as do most opening diecast/plastic models. Only most resin models lack rolling wheels.
Anyway the NA2 NSX-R is one of the better modern AA models, I have the white one myself:
Maybe, MAYBE, one day I have the opportunity and cash to get one Autoart model for myself.

Sad to hear but yeah not enough bucks in the bank is no uncommon issue for all of us I guess? At least you maybe got sth else exciting on small wheels to show us?

1/18 scale Porsche 992 GT3 RS from Norev (dealer edition).

I'm gonna wait to see how the Norev compares to the Minichamps before I make a choice on which 992 GT3 RS to get lol.
Also picked up this from the Mazda dealer:

I ordered the Norev before I saw that Minichamps will also be making the car. I'll probably get a Minichamps as well, since they look to be the Weissach version of the car.I'm gonna wait to see how the Norev compares to the Minichamps before I make a choice on which 992 GT3 RS to get lol.
Also picked up this from the Mazda dealer:
Speaking of Mazda (other than strongly considering getting a real RF for myself maybe next year) KK Scale is making a decent looking 1/18 787B soon with factory livery and Renown versions, probably good price though I suspect you have a 787B in your collection lol

I got the yellow one yesterday.1/18 scale Porsche 992 GT3 RS from Norev (dealer edition).

I may or may not have a 787B (or two) in my collection lol...
I'd like to see some models of Mazda's older prototypes, like the 757 and 767 in 1/18, along with the later Lola-Mazdas of the 2000's. Also the RX-792P would be nice as well in 1/18...

My reason is rather simple, I already got a Minichamps 991 GT3 RS in green so it's a no brainer for getting a different color this time around.

Nothing special, just a cheap one off eBay but I think it looks pretty good. Cost less than £8.

Have it too in dirty and clean and like it very much for the price in 1/36. Have the Evo 7 on order but sadly there isn't a dirty version.

Got the same one, they have plenty of these at Rite-Aid here in the States. Around the same price if not slightly more.
