OneModel is pretty recent, good quality as you can see from Pacman's photos, but some of their models are just a bit... off somehow? The shots they've posted of the NA1 NSX prototypes, for example, look horrible. AutoArt is the gold standard in its price range, and the only real option if you want a model that's not resin and has opening parts. Almost all the others don't do opening parts for import cars. HobbyJapan is based off the Mark 1:18 scale stuff so it's good quality too. Some would say better than OneModel.

I really hope One Model got the message from collectors on FB. The NA1 prototype from them does look off. But one thing did noticed on the One Model NA2, is that the rear engine glass cover seems a bit too sharp. It is not rounded enough.
It seems like every manufacturer is going NSX crazy these days... rumor has it Kyosho is releasing a 1/12 scale 92' NSX Type R in white and Yellow... and 1/18 92' NSX TYPE R in White and Silver...Expected release time is Q4 2017. I guess we will find out what these models will look like at the upcoming Toy fair in Nuremberg (this coming Monday).
BTW didn't Ignition models buy out HPI? Or was it the modellers from HPI went to form Ignition models?
