Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC110) by Kyosho
Last item, arrived few days ago - Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC110) by Kyosho. I was looking for this model for a long time, this is old and rare model from Kyosho and price on ebay was enough high. But few weeks ago I found this model on diecastmodelswholesale.com with good price and of course bought immediately. With this model I closed Nissan Skyline/GT-R piece of collection . Model looks good, standard Kyosho quality, no big issues. Have workable suspension, high detailed engine, good painting, small gaps, not bad interior. I would point very well done dashboard and steering wheel with photoetched metal spokes.

Congrats, I know it feels good to hunt down a long sought after model. The engine looks very good and I love the looks of the car as well. I'm not willing to pay the high ebay prices so I hope autoart will make it as well.

Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
Thanks! But with the current exchange rate between usd and cdn, that will cost me about $210!
Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
Love the color of that ACME GTO. If I didn't already have the white Judge, I'd definitely go for that one.
Like that Skyline, too. I have the first release in red with the steelies, but these wheels look SO much better. That is a great model by Kyosho.

Oldsmobile 442 W30 by ACME
Lets continue with ACME models - Oldsmobile 442 W30. Another good model, have 2 real issues: big gaps around doors and door hinges aren't true. All other is good job ... color is fantastic and with white interior . Model is heavy, have functioning suspension, working sun visors, folding seats, nicely detailed engine.

Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
I think that's due to the fact that they're using the old mould from Lane Exact Detail to make this model
Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
yup...that's the reason.
Both great additions. Love the color combo on the Olds.

Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
Oh and forgot the Olds! I have that same one, and it's worth it for the colour alone. Gorgeous car. And the Chevelle I have in light blue with white stripes, it's a Guycast edition
Re: Super/sport and muscle cars 1:18 collection
Blue Chevelle is much better than gray , also good to have red one as in Fast & Furious:StratosWRC wrote:And the Chevelle I have in light blue with white stripes, it's a Guycast edition
