CF hood is nice
rest of the model is craptastic...what's it gonna retail like $300?

i like how this thread slowed right down as our dollar is tanking :okay:

in keeping with the tradition of buying a 1:18 car to reflect my real one and recently gotten into a 2nd gen RDX...ordered this... $150cdn shipped.

yes, its not well known but no one else makes it. will go great with my TL 1:18 fleet.

Hi guys - hoping for some help.

Can anybody recommend an online retailer (or local) to purchase a 1:18 scale 2014 Mercedes Lewis Hamilton model? Spark made one that I'm particularly interested in (it's the one that Lewis is actually holding the Union Jack) but I'm not totally familiar with Spark and am a little cautious about the places selling it online.

I prefer Minichamps as I have a number of those already... any thoughts? Ideas?

I have bought from them extensively in the past but didn't realize they have the Spark model!!!!

MERCIIII...

Final question - from the folks here - resin vs diecast? :)

Minichamps = diecast and Spark = resin... but I prefer the inclusion of the Union Jack on the Spark model... anybody with experience and knowledge that they can speak to?

Resin usually means better panel gaps and details but also means there won't be any opening door parts or anything like that... Which is not really an issue on a F1 car anyway since it has no doors or trunk/engine lids.

Spark model it is!

Thanks guys!

Anyone have extra of the red or white HotWheels NSX they want to sell?

That gap between the doors tho.. :okay:

Anyone have a black or silver autoart NSX that theyd sell?

*true reflection of current Acura build quality!

Personally i have always preferred diecast, but looking at some models that resin manufacturers are putting out there are really nice.. for example GT spirit and the 370z.. which autoart has not yet released.

some insider info... gt spirit had a callout in europe for stock japanese cars, such as silvias and this dc2r:

supposedly we'll be seeing these in the gt spirit lineup (not ottomobile) sometime late next year :high:

TSM models is releasing a 1/18 resin of the new NSX in a month's time... but it's $999HKD :(

this one?

I got it from save on foods lol for $2.

this is even more expensive than the NSX... 2090hkd :(

this is preproduction, but one glaring mistake i see is the red honda badges... i'm pretty sure they were not inset like what is shown? also, are the side mirrors out of scale?

Yes those ones... They're very difficult to find

since you're more of a car enthusiast than me.. its yours for $2? I literally found and purchased it last Saturday night.

Not a diecast but still cool:
