Hobbies Scale Model Kits

[GTRsean]

Hey nice collection, those larger Skylines look scale 1:12 or are they 1:18?

The Nismo Z-Tune looks sweet! But I would mind getting one meself and painting the bonnet / wheels black and body white.

Cheers man,

1:18 scale skylines, bathurst 1991 winner and a stock R32GTR

Got another 1991 bathurst one still in box, wish I had the 1992 Winfield one!!!

Hey guys first time seeing this thread, are these working models? With an engine?

That looks like fun, where do you get them from? You build from scratch? How much?

Apologies for the myriad questions

No probs

Some have engine bay, and doors, bonnet, boot that open and fully detailed interiors.

Buy mostly from hobby shops, I got a couple from Big W!, also buy online...

Most you build from scratch, glue and paint.

Looks like fun but takes hours to complete and look good!

Are you able to scan the box art in hi-res and post it up here? Please? The box art for Fujimi and Tamiya is excellent.

I have a collection of quality die-cast models, such as Autoart, Ebbro, and Kyosho.

I've spent roughly $4,000 on them, collecting every model in every variation and colour.

I've only taken basic pics of them right now, however I may take close-ups of the more limited models later on if anyone wants to see.

My collection, only die cast for now until i have the time, space......such i'll start building things!

In the mean time, if anyone EVER come accross a toyota starlet EP82, PLEASE let me know as i've searched all over the net but could not find one for some reason, i was under the impression that every cars in Japan has its own die cast model or some sort of.

Here's a couple of cheapie's (also have the 1:24 scale version's)

[ajrichar]

Nice collection!

I have most of your Ebbro cars (stayed within R32-R33-R34) but I am missing the AUTOart red R34 in red with BBS wheels (limited to 1,000) , the Nismo S and R Tune cars, and the 1:64 Beads Collection range you have. They are very nice indeed.

I've got a few in diecast:

And a heap others that I haven't posted here. I also have all of the new AUTOart R32 GT-R Group A cars in 1:18 released thus far (Calsonic, STP Taisan, Kyoseki, HKS). I love them but the car I am really after is the AUTOart 1:18 R34 Gt-R Nur spec. This was limited to 1,000 pieces in Japan with certificate. I refule to pay what they go for.

OMG you 2 have one of the best collections I have seen!!!

I think Lindsay Fox has one of the Winfield GTR's in his garage...

[infamous]

ajrichar; That's a sweet collection also.

I see the 1:43 R34 GTR Nur, & R34 GTR N1 of yours, nice!.... I still need those 2.

I haven't heard of the Autoart Nur-spec till you mentioned it!

Trying to find a pic but haven't spotted 1 yet.

I thought the R34 BBS version I have was expensive (just to have a set of BBS rims, and a caption stating 1,000 pieces), I wonder how much the Nur goes for ??

I actually built this collection prior to owning my R34,... so naturally die-cast's are on hold for the time being, whilst the funds go towards performance goodies.

[R338OY]

Wow

You dudes are true Skyline enthusiasts. I've never seen so much passion!

Ace collections, i have an R34 GTR die-cast (not amazing quality) but there's no point posting it after all the others!

[R338OY]

Can you get little RB26 model engines? I'd love to build one and put it in one of these cars

I would too! Like a scale / mini RB26 in the cabinet would look sweet.

I think Tamiya and Fujimi went tight ass on the model kits and stop making engines. So some model fanatics buy the Tamiya R32 GTR model kit and take the engine out of that kit and put it into the R33 and R34 kits but they have to cut out the bonnet.

Is this what you guys are after ?
