GTPlanet Scale model thread

[AerodyManiac]

the most obvious feature compared to older models are the cambered wheels

Nice one, but I can’t really see the camber on the wheels? Do you mean that they’re adjustable, or just that there is some negative camber on the wheels?

Also, this is for anybody that is reading this, but since I saw a discussion about the limited production numbers of model cars, I wanna ask if anybody may happen to have stumbled upon information on other forums (or just simply know for a fact) that the limited production numbers stated on Minichamps models are actually false, and more have been made? While I must stress I have nothing to back up this suspicion, which is only a blindfolded assumption, I recently saw one of their 1/18 300 SL Roadsters for sale on ck-modelcars. Having seen other pics on internet, it seems to be of a decent quality for a PMA, and the combination of nice-looking colour + okay price + limited run of 304 units + a huge retailer like ck having it for sale just seemed too good to be true nowadays, so I just wonder if something’s not hitting right.

Just got a mint Carrera RS from Solido, pretty cool model for a cheap price, also got the blue and ruby, yellow is a Spark.

Love them! I wish they made both that Mint N/GT Clubsport and a version with color matched wheels like your yellow model in 1:18.

Speaking of 1:18 I copied you with an addition of a Guards Red model.

Bonus pics: 964 & 993 Carrera RS Clubsports

Nice, what brand is that model? Don't recall seeing any racing Gen 6 Camaros out there...
Also various AUTOarts over the years have had camber designed into the model, along with numerous resin makes.

It's made by Authentic Collectables. And what do you mean you've never seen a Gen 6 Camaro race car? Haven't you watched NASCAR lately?

Err, I meant models of them lol
Though IIRC Spark is releasing a 1/18 of the Le Mans Camaro from last year, since they release pretty much every notable LM car that isn't a Ferrari lol

I'm pretty sure that you can get model NASCARs from last year.

Not surprising, but then again I haven't paid any attention to NASCAR models (outside of the soon to be released LM Camaro) in a looooong time lol
I pretty much focus on GT/prototype racers, sports/exotic cars, muscle cars, and the oddball classic F1 car.

Wow, the camber at the front looks more subtle than I think. Thanks for taking the time to take the pics!

1:18 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Cabriolet from Norev. This is my 5th Norev 964 I like them that much. Also 001/200.

Noicely done, George.

Apparently this is going on sale in a model shop that's on my way to my Dad's from Monday next week:

Burago 1/18 Ferrari Racing 499p Le Mans Hypercar Diecast Model

Burago 1/18 Ferrari Racing 499p Le Mans Hypercar Diecast Model, part of the Wonderland Models range. Shop now with fast, hassle-free delivery.

www.wonderlandmodels.com

It looks like there are two versions, one with a clear acrylic box and one without - hopefully they get the former in, otherwise I might hold out and order it on the web.

Bburago also have a 1/24 scale 499P and Porsche 963 - they seem extraordinarily cheap at around £30 a pop, though the 1/18 499P is £80.

Are these Bburago in 1:43?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Yes, that's right.

They are the best value for money F1 diecasts. Completely avoided Minichamps and Spark due to their fragility.

 

[SPhilli911]

Porsche 996 GT3 RSR and 997 RSR, both AutoArt. Sorry for frequent posts, I don't take these pictures on the same day.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I kinda see why Bburago released the AMR23 much later than the other 2023 spec machines.

They outdid themselves on the livery and the paint quality is excellent.

This is fantastic for a Bburago.

I haven't bought anything Otto in years. They got me this time.

I kinda want that, along with the modified FD they just released...

 

[Venom800tt]

Received a couple Solido 1/18's yesterday:


I really like the bang for your buck with their modern releases, really does remind me of UT Models from back in the day.

Really like that FD. I agree, Solido are fantastic "budget" models and glad they at least have opening doors rather than being completely sealed.

Finally scored this on the weekend:

For me, he is a champion in the making. Not now, but soon.

Add the fact that his manager is an excellent racer too.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Found this guy on a peg at a local Dollarama - couldn't resist!

 

[toastet]

Hope they'll bring the "original" IMSA livery in a premium version in the future!

This has been a long time coming, but finally am able to properly display all my cars ( most of it) without fear of dust:

Huge thanks to my wife for her understanding and letting me display them in the living rooms.
