GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

came yesterday,i think this is better than other model ive came across,only thing im dissappoint about is that the seats arent fabic like on the impreza and R32 but the detailing on it is amazing,it has HSV on the silencers on the exhaust and flip down sun visions and even proper fabic head shelding under the bonnet i also like the fact in this that the carpet is softer than the impreza and r32.

Wow, some brilliant detailing on the Holden dude. Loving the flip down visors and carpeted bonnet. Gotta say though, not really a fan of the rear lights.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

it was a bargin too £21 delivered from an online shop i would seriously recommend this car the only thing im disappointed about is the non fabic seats,if it had those it would be perfect.this was the car that got me into holden's although it was mainly the UK spec GTS-R version(hence the user name)

 

[Sting]

What was the online shop? Might bookmark it if I haven't already.

I'll grab some pics of my Calibra later after college. Right now I'm just doing some work before I go in for my lesson.

OK some pics of my recent UT Calibra V6. The new one is the white and blue one. The blue and yellow one I've had for a long time.

recently recived my bugatti EB110-non dauer, and i love it! ill post pics if requested

 

[MustangSVT]

I like the details on that Holden HSV or whatever it is. Don't like the back though (of the car itself, not the "model"). If you like the car though, good for you.

Anyway, I've just secured a deal for an Autoart Diablo SV 1/18 in metal blue. I'll be getting this probably in later half of May.

This'll probably be my last post in the next 3 weeks as I'll be going away on vacation to europe. I can't wait till I get that Williams FW14 with Mansell/Senna figurines.

Went to my local shop and pick up 2 AutoArt JGTC models
1> Nissan Fairlady Z JGTC 2004' Calsonic Impul #12




2> Toyota Supra JGTC 2003 "ZENT TOM'S" #37

Man, wish we had shops around here that would sell those.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

RattlerGUNZ - How much did you end up paying for those? The only place I found around here that sells them is in Hamilton (the smelliest city in Ontario) and they're almost $140 CAN, before tax! Is that absurd or is that the price to expect here in Ontario?

 

[RattlerGUNZ]

SRV2LOW4ME my local shop sells them to me at $85.00CDN plus taxes (reg price they sell at $99.99CDN)

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Damn...Still less then what they're selling them for around here. I seriously need to make a trip to T-Dot sometime with some cash.

 

[twistedspoon]

You definitely need get yourself some connections before the prices would come down for you.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

I know. I use to have a connection with a guy in Cambridge. Unfortuantly, he either gave me too many deals, or not enough deals, because he closed down a couple of years ago. I've been lost ever since for a LHS to call home ever since.

 

[RattlerGUNZ]

I have 3 Autoart JGTC models on reserver from my online dealer

1>NISSAN FAIRLADY Z JGTC 2004' MOTUL PITWORK #22

2>NISSAN FAIRLADY Z JGTC 2004' TEST CAR #23

3>NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R (R34) JGTC 2003' ROUND 8 SUZUKA VERSION "CALSONIC" #12

why is is advertising that it is sealed? surely that's not good!

sealed means the bonnet,doors and boot doesnt open.

 

[Slick Rick]

Where should i look to get a good quality Mclaren mp4 20 or 21.
I don't know much about 1/18ths and the ones Ive got haven't got much detail...

 

[Sting]

Interesting that it says that one 350z is sealed but doesnt say for the other. Would be silly if they were different.

Slick, try diecast legends. http://www.grandprixlegends.com/DieCastSite/pages/home/default.asp?&cookie_test=1

I don't think the 21 has been released yet, cause I might get one of them.

 

[Slick Rick]

thanks 👍

 

[RattlerGUNZ]

AutoArt JGTC models are all sealed.
For the Mclaren mp4 20 theres 2 makes Minichamps and HotWheels.MC cost more and HW less.

Aye, but I would recommend the MC model more. I have two F1 cars from MC and they are awesome.

so its definetly a bad thing then.

 

[bondy_1625]

The model that Jef kindly persuaded me to buy appeared from the postie today.
i'll take some pics later, its a 1973 Camaro Z/28

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

not really i mean i seen the point about what autoart said that youll only ever open the bonnet,boot,doors etc a couple of the times and the rest they are closed,plus its a race car and most companys dont want other teams sealing designs and knowing how things are set up in the cars etc

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

oh and new model cause its my birthday but its a 1:43

damnit, I was thinking of buying it as well. lol I want a stake, lets say, 25% ownership of that model or else. lol
