TrueScale Miniatures New 1:18 Pre-Production Photos

Next we feature some of the 1:18 scale upcoming releases. The above Porsche 924 Carrera GT #74 is one of many. Some have already graced our pages earlier in the year, but another other look or angle sure doesn’t hurt.

That P1 is so mine. The McLaren F1 LM as well. Can't wait! All those Porsches are mouthwatering but they all look sealed : (

I hope some of the models here are 1/43s otherwise...

I wonder what the price will be for the opening P1? That is going to be wicked!

Many look sealed. I would like the Porsche's to be open. Either way the black Martini Porsche will be mine.

I will pass on the P1, but For $219, that sounds like it could be a nice model. I am curious to say the least.

$219?? I hope thats correct!! That sounds really low to me, the current TSM sealed 1/18 P1 (sealed +blacked out windows = most likely no engine or interior) is just over 200 from what I have seen.

Yeah TSM is pretty fair when it comes to pricing. My 936 cost me like 120-130?

Very sad that they rather make resin models. No die-cast in here except for McLarens.

AutoArt will stay this way... and increase prices by few more procents motivating it that it is expensive to develop metal models. :deal:

Are the 935s resin? To me they look like they are based on TSMs Jagermeister K2 model, which is diecast.

I will definately be picking up the #40 935, but not sure on the #1 Martini car. I'm not sure what it is with TSMs #1 Martini 935, it just doesn't look right. The shape seems off, especially when compared to Exoto's #1 Dijon car
