Re: KK Scale Lamborghini Jalpa 3500!

That looks excellent. I've been wanting a Jalpa for years! I had an old 1/24 plastic kit as a kid. Have you decided on a color? I waffled a bit but settled on the black version. I'll definitely paint the interior black to match the movie car's interior. It should go well with my black Minichamps Ma...

Buy both! The champagne interior is nice! :money: :money:
Well since the black Jalpa has the same vanity license plate as the Rocky IV movie car I'd have to paint its interior black to make it the same as the 1:1 in the movie.

Re: KK Scale Lamborghini Jalpa 3500!

Finally!!!!! I recently bought the Greenlight 1/43rd version but I'll definitely go for this one. You can say that again! I'm leaning towards white :scratchhead: The white looks good to me because of the contrasting black trim and interior. I also like the black. I'll have to resist the urge to get...

Re: IXO Models February/March New Releases!

Wondering what the release date is for one of them. I had the 1/18th Subaru Legacy Rally New Zealand on pre-order since shortly after IXO's 2024 catalog came out. My commuter car in 1990 was a first generation Legacy and I've wanted a model of a Legacy for quite some time. This is the first 1/18th I...

Re: Tecnomodel New Deliveries – Jaguar & Ferrari!

The Ecurie Ecosse blue on their D-type was too light in color as far as I can tell (I have that model). I hope they don't repeat their error with the C-type because I'd like to have it.

Interesting results even though most of these don't fall into my collecting themes. I did vote though.

Re: IXO 2024 Catalogue

I have my eye on that yellow Subaru Legacy. I had first and second generation Legacys as commuter cars so it would be nice to have one in 1/18th. I prefer this livery to the Rothmans look-alike versions they produced.

Re: Cult Scale Models by Matrix 2024 Footprint (Part 2 of 4)

I never purchased a model by Cult before. Where are some good places to pre-order them from for residents of the USA?

Re: AUTOart Q2 Release: Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86) “Project D”…

I liked the movie but I'll probably pass on this one. Had the sealed Kyosho and later sold it.

Re: Martisan Copper Car, Surpassed CMC?

Very nice but $1,500 is beyond what I would spend on a single model no matter how detailed it is. I don't feel quite as bad about spending around $1,400 for two CMCs which is what their Ferrari 275 GTB/C and new 250 GTO will end up costing me with shipping and tax. I wonder what the fully paneled mo...

I could buy another real car for that money if I had the garage space.

Re: Kyosho New Metal Porsche 911!

These look very good but I wish they had done a 1966 or later version that had the Fuchs alloy wheels. Whenever I visualize a first generation 911 I always picture them wearing Fuchs alloys.

Re: Kyosho Diecast Jaguar E-Type is Back!

I was happy with my white version until I read this! I owned a used Pale Primrose open top 1:1 in the 70s so now I must get that coupe in the same color!!

Re: Real Art Replicas DeKon Chevrolet Monza Race Cars!

I wish someone would also do a street Monza. I thought it was one of the better looking cars in its class when it came out.
