GT Spirit is the only company that made a E90 M3 in 1/18 scale. It was only produced in white, and it had a automatic shifter...Unfortunately these are all sold out.
However they may re-release one in another color in the future. I'm hoping for a Jerez Black...because that is the color of my E90 M3.
Happy Collecting

| 1/18 Honda Civic SiR EF9 white with black hood
Hi Everyone!
We've all probably seen an EF9 with black hood, and black front and rear bumpers down at Market Square....
IMO Ignition produces the best 1/18 EF9 in diecast. Unfortunately, it's three times the price of a 1/18 EF9 from Triple 9.

| 1/18 Porsche 911 3.2 RS by GT Spirit
Hi Everyone,
If you missed out on early GT Spirit models, here is your chance to get them. This 911 Carrera 3.2 was originally produced by GT Spirit about 4 years ago when they were a new company. They originally released this 3.2 in red, blue and yellow. Those are pretty hard to find these days and command good $$$ on eBay. This silver version is GT Spirit's latest release.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Kind of down today, sent my AutoArt diecast stainless steel Delorean off to its new owner in New York! Surprised its value didn't take a big tumble when they re-released it in resin but I guess enough people still want the metal one. Turned a massive profit on it, can't complain about that, but always tough to let one of your babies go!
Too bad pacman will probably end up taking all my money lolol

How do you guys take care of your models? Mine are in display cabinet. But maybe it's a bit humid here and I realize I got mold on them, maybe from wiping with water a while back. What should I do now and how should I be cleaning them?

You can safely use the same techniques as car paint on that diecast AA NSX without worry... just a very slightly damp w/soapy water microfibre cloth should do the trick

Hey guys. My friend owns Peako Models in Hong Kong http://www.peakomodel.com . You guys probably don't hear much about it. The guy is actually very low-key and doesn't advertise much, i don't think he actually makes his money from this business anyways ha.
He is a crazy car collector and has access to some of the cars he makes models with.
I'll be heading to Vancouver in late July and don't mind bringing some models over if you guys would like to buy (only what i can fit in luggage so not large orders). Just doing this as a favor to him and you guys to save on shipping. Let me know. I'd need a deposit of some kind of course so I don't even up with models in my luggage that I don't need =x.

All the MSRP prices are on the website Peako Model . You can see most of the models are limited to 30-50 pcs. Let me know which one you are interested in and I can ask him if he still has and the final price if it differs from MSRP.
