My diecast models still looking for more...but it's getting difficult. Yes I still have to build the one in the box someday .
Re: My diecast models Wow!!!!!! thats fabulous!!!!! I am so JEALOUS!!!!! I thought I was mad on Celicas, but you guys are Tops! I have the one in the box but I made a mess of the paintwork!
Re: My diecast models Whoa!!!!! Thats insane ( in a good way ). Ive got the odd model. 2 celicas in my room still in there boxes reminding me of the cars i used to own etc. Tho at this pc ontop of the desk i have 4 vehicross hotwheel cars lol. yes i get shit for them hahahaa. Tho if i ever see a tamiya celica model over therei ll prob snap it up and paint it like my old girl.
I'd love to find a Tamiya R/C, they are seriously collectable now You guys are spoilt by Onyx, Minichamps etc, my collection is mostly Japanese imports but if anybody finds any in Europe, count me in It's a Scalextrix 1/32 scale AWD with working lights made by SCX (Matchbox UK p/n 83320) Scale speed is something like 500km/h, so not only does it run but it's easily the fastest gen4 around! Its a Tamiya 1/24 scale ST162 GTR p/n 56 Currently being made into a replica of my car 1/64 scale, made by CMS JPN - There's a whole collection at: http://www.cmscorp.jp/w/products/index.html Amazing detail, if only it was bigger These are only available in Japan, the writings all in Japanese
Re: My diecast models love it! very jealous too! Cannot show the wife for fear of her losing the plot at me lol
i think you should leave one out in the rain to rust a bit! just so you can have a project car like real life!
I'm desesperatly searching this model :drool5 Japan made. DISM brand. 1/43. IMO, the better and most accurate diecast 4gen ever made. I sent several emails to japanese retailers but they do not want to sell overseas... :cry
Francois, that one is just :drool5 Haven't seen it before and the detailing is so clear, it's amazing, even down to the ten spoke alloys.
Even has working lights What if it was a group buy? I have a friend who goes to Tokyo on business so it's not impossible
For Steve - the Supra models I found I met a guy the other day with an immaculate XX, it has a 2L M-TEU Turbo motor (I hear it was JDM only?) It has the same mirrors as the Gen4 with different bases, I see the 2.8 is different These older Celi's appear to be JDM
+1. I agree for a group buy. The red JDM 2000 GT-R is DISM-074107 reference# Also, exists a white JDM 2000 GT-Four (DISM-074084) And, YES. I want to buy both....!
See if you can find a site or address in Japan Those are nice but I want you to keep an eye out for the only IMSA model, it's made in France by Starter. It's pretty basic, but..... I want one and it fits in with all the other 1/43 scale SCX - Matchbox (Scalextric), actually they made a few gen4's - heres a few I've seen Not an IMSA "model" but also on my "want" list This one Alwayz and I have, working lights and 4x4 - thanks for the spare stickers
R & B model shop Nakagawa-ku Nagoya 454-0984 Aichi prefecture Japan Tel :052-303-2332 I don't know if it's far away from Tokyo? In this model shop, red and white models seem to be available.
I will make this happen In the meantime I found and bought these 1/43's on ebay This one came free with the magazine, there is also a ST185 and ST205 in the set
