how do you like it? i am still unsure if it's worth the asking price.

I'm pretty happy with the model. I was concerned about the panel gaps on the body from the prototype pictures, but it turned out pretty good in the final production version. The paint is great (volcano orange really sparkles) and I think they got the ride height right. I also like that it's a metal diecast since I'm still unsure of Autoart's new composite models yet.

The interior could be better when compared to Autoart Signature models. It's also too bad the engine cover doesn't open.

Since I'm a huge fan of the P1 I'll also be getting the Autoart version for the open engine, but if I were to only get one, I'd wait to see how Autoart's version turns out.

also wondering what's the deal with the rear wing... is it adjustable or detachable?

Just received the Tomica 2015 STI a couple days ago:

wow i want that dealer at the back ground

so which ones the fastest around the track :troll:

That Subaru SVX is great!

which 918 is that?
the tsm paint looks pretty rough

The model comes with two wings that you can swap. The wing is plastic though.

It's a Minichamp 918. I'm hoping Autoart will also produce a 918...

I think it's the metallic flakes in the paint makes it looks rough in the picture. The metal flakes in the paint is probably necessary on a 1/18 to give it the glow. It's actually pretty nice in person.

Here's closer view:

DIY with the Tomica Hypercity buildings, logos from brochures.

Yes, Kyosho did an awesome job with this one.

IMO, the metallic flakes are too big for the 1 18 scale. I am waiting for Autoarts version. Have to see how plastic it looks when it comes out next year.

heh. saw this on facebook and thought it might go well with this topic... carbon fiber diaper change table/bassinet :D

Which website do you guys buy off of?

i know this thread is long, but if you try the search option it might find all the scattered posts from all of us showing the websites we buy from... but with the exchange rate being what it is these days i'm not sure anymore :(

do you think autoart will release a 400R?

or will it be a unicorn forever...

www.amiami.com (Japan) Exchange rate sucks and risk of custom fees
Toronto Motorsports - Officially Licensed Racing Merchandise (Canada) Best prices online, no custom fees, no exchange, very limited selection.
Ebay - super expensive now with the exchange rate and high model prices in USD
Acheter Diecast Au Québec (Canada) - good selection but more expensive.

?? reverse/amber light error?

My Nismo R33 is identical to that. Didn't notice it until now. Good observation!

if i am not mistaken, the one on the right is a rear fog light.

just seems really odd a reverse light, an amber signal and a fog light would only be on 1 side

Maybe when they run out of cars to make, they'll make that lol.

Pre Order - Tarmac Works 1/43 Honda Civic EG9 #14 JACCS - 1994????????

It's not the EG6, but this is super tempting because I LOVE the JACCS livery.
