I am a sucker for Gran Turismo
 

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share with you one of my favorite racing livery. It's the Ets Chéreau Porsche 911 GT2 LM #60. Although this car did not finish Le Man 24hr back in 1998 due to suspension issues, I am a sucker for the Gran Turismo PlayStation livery.
I was really excited when GT Spirit announced the release of the 911 GT2 LM in PlayStation livery. My only complaint about this car is why did they not use Photo etched parts for the hood pins? Decals? I really think GT cheaped out on this little detail. But nonetheless, I really like the PS livery.

Enjoy the pics!

Kyosho Ousia Series - $99.00 USD SRP for a Lambo? Are you Serious?
 

Hi Everyone,

I assume most of you have heard of the Ousia series from Kyosho. It's Kyosho's effort to provide premium-level diecast detail at a more affordable price. The series was released last year in February 2015. Cars in the Ousia series are all sealed diecast metal. The first batch of cars released in this series were the Lamborghini Veneno and Veneno roadster, and they were met with positive reviews. The Lamborghini Huracan and Aventador SV are the latest raging bulls to joing the Ousia series. These cars are set to be released in Q3 2016. When announced that the SRP is $99.00 USD plus shipping, I had to place an order for one. Once I receive mine, I will definitely post pics up on Revscene.

I hope Kyosho will have Ferrari in the collection...In the meantime, here are the final production photos released by Kyosho.

i thought their license with ferrari expired
i think only hot wheels have the rights to pracing horse models

@twitchyzero

No...hot wheels license with Ferrari expired. That is why you don't see any Ferrari's in the hot wheels line up. The Ferrari license went to bburago/Maisto.

As far as I know Kyosho still produces Ferrari's in 1/64, 1/18 and 1/12 scale. But they are mostly resin and are very $$$$.

Thank you for the comment.

someone raided the racks pretty good before i got there so this was all that was left that i liked... $1.99 each?

are there any local forums for trading hot wheels or 1/18 models?

Facebook page
 

@ Akord,

There is a local facebook page that allows members to sell and trade

It's called Toy Collectors Vancouver. Look them up and join the group.

Good luck.

any supra people here? is that hood scoop functional? i've seen in on the overseas versions before but i don't know enough about it...

I guess they are going to base the model off a eurospec car. LHD, fender light, hood scoop. Hood scoop is suppose to be functional in the real car. I think its for cooling the coil packs. Eurospec cars could be optioned with glass headlights, headlight washers, heated mirrors, heated and power seats, diff cooler, metric higher speed speedo, active aero, hood scoop. I think it had different injectors, different turbo, different cats, bigger brakes standard, compared to the jdm RZ and ran on maf like the usdm cars. Don't quote me though.

here is my kyosho usdm 1/18 for comparison

!Kodamu you willing to sell your white DC5 or Mugen DC5?

beat me to it :heckno:

do you have an Hanjin container?
heard they're going up in value :troll:

Don't think I will ever sell the DC5R and Mugen DC5R unless I got an offer I cant refuse. lol

thanks for the hookup @tofu1413! :sweetjesus:

ooooh.... from cs models facebook page:

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...10035319_o.jpg

from the internet... 1/18 peako/jp hobby sw20. is it resin? not sure...


https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...da&oe=58930B30

and in other news... from ignition model:

https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a2&oe=58A70CEB
https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a8&oe=5897FDE0

i was ignoring these because they are so expensive for what they are, but i ended up getting this acme gulf camaro at a discount because one of the brake calipers is seized up and the suspension is off so it sort of leans to one side. gonna take it apart when i have time and reassemble to see how it works...

https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...92260266_o.jpg

lots of news all of a sudden? for 2017 tsm model is releasing another version of the ford gt... hopefully diecast not resin this time:

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...77088952_o.jpg

I don't trust TSM at all anymore, still sitting on my NSX pre-orders for TWO YEARS now they've had my money... absolutely ridiculous. The only positive thing I can say about them is that at least I paid when the dollar was at par.

the new FGT is very high on my list
currently only maisto makes it in diecast 1/18?
