Re: Just a cool display of diecast (UPDATED)...

Regarding the very detailed 1/43 models above. I think the Porsche is made from a kit by Model Factory Hiro.

Re: Looking for a Special GTR-35 model

Thanks buddy! Kyosho made a similar one in 1/43, but it's a streetcar with stickers and not a racecar. See picture below. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D29mmarMWlw/UL2floK4MHI/AAAAAAAAFLM/3WfO43Z0sOM/s640/DSC_0800.JPG I have a feeling I've seen a model of the blue one somewhere on the web but can't reme...

Looking for a special GTR-35 model

Hi Guys! I'm looking for a diecast of the car in the picture below. It was raced at the 2012 Nürburgring 24h by Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi among others. Achieving a class win in SP8T. A very attractive livery that would look great in my collection. I'm collecting both 1/43 and 1/18 so if...

Re: RUMOR MILL! No More Hot Wheels Elite?

If we compare objectively the models, then we would have to compare the Foundation HW models with the Bburagos that just came out. And guess what? The Bburago LaFerrari/California/Speciale blow out of the water the foundation LaFerrari/California/Speciale. For a third of the price. I agree to some ...

Re: RUMOR MILL! No More Hot Wheels Elite?

yup, but as far as I know, it isn't like they didn't have the opportunity to re-up. Aah man! :doh: That's not good news . I can't say that all Bburago models are bad. But they're certainly not in the same league as Hot Wheels Elite. The panel gaps in particular are a sore point on Bburagos. On thei...

Re: Welly/FX Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

Nice review Kraftig!

This one is definitely going on my list of cars to get.

Anyone other than me hoping for a Vanquish from FX aswell? I know Tecnomodel is making one, but it would be nice if someone would make a less expenisve option. :okay:

1/18 Paragon F10 M5 Gray wheels

Hi! I decided to paint the wheels on my M5. They are silver as the model comes out of the box, but thats wrong. They should be a gray metallic color. http://f10.m5post.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=681068&d=1335292336 I thought of using my airbrush to paint the wheels but decided against it...

Re: Hello from Sweden!

Hey Emil at first glance the Golf looks like a diecast. Overall it seems to capture the lines of the 1:1 Thanks for the nice words KRAFTIG! Even though I'm sometmes a bit critical to some kits in regard to accuracy I'll still keep building them as I really like the rewarding feeling you get when fi...

Re: Hello from Sweden!

Hi again, thanks for the warm welcome! I'd love to see some of plastic model kits, did you modify any of them? Sure, I don´t have that many to show really, most of them are stowed away at the moment. But here is a Mk. V VW Golf from the kitmaker Fujimi that I built a while back. Not very modified, b...

Hey Guys! My name is Emil I'm 26 and live in Sweden. I'm quite new to diecast collecting. I bought my first "serious" diecast car a few months back and have since bought 6 1/18 cars. My first was a Kyosho Audi R8 4.2 in red. I've built plastic model cars for about ten years and have sort of got tire...
