Die-cast cars, which one to get?

[Andreas¹]

OMG, I have looked around on the website. It rocks!

Didn't know you could get 1:72 scale :eek:

[CarMadMike]

Thats tiny Andreas

 

I just found the reventon on the same site, not happy at all, looks cheap and plastic, id love to buy a reventon from autoart or a better brand

[Eudemon]

Close Nodz but this is the full on roadcar, this doesn't have the branded wheels and has a full windscreen. Looks like it could be a limited as I see it says this is number 7006 so who knows.

 

Here's some pics of it. :D

[Nodz86]

Very nice diablo, looks the nuts.

 

Andreaz you can get down to 1:87 (think there might be smaller but not sure) all the way up to 1/4 scale think i've seen 1/2 scale before aswell

OMG :eek: *drools massivly over floor*

 

On topic: I will (reluctantly) vote for the F430

[CarboyZR1]

Stupid Pimpmobile. Get a Mercedes S-Class.

[CarMadMike]

^ I like that Idea, I Quite like models of Saloons

[ShadowGT]

OMG!! I Want these!

 

 

 

[CarMadMike]

WOW, Hummer not so wow, But the others *drools*

[Mb]

1/12 BBR Enzo is good. ;)

[The Queen]

Very expensive and it's not a 1/12 BBR it's a 1/12 Kyosho. BBR only do a 1/18 version ;)

[Mb]

Woops, mistake :)

[The Queen]

Just googled it and it's only Kyosho and Tamiya who do a 1/12 version of the Enzo. The difference is the Kyosho one is more expensive but is all diecast and the Tamiya one is less expensive as it comes semi assembled and is not all diecast. Although AFAIK you only get the black 1/12 Enzo from Tamiya and not Kyosho.

 

You have got me talking bloody jargon about all this now :rolleyes:

 

Hope it's of some use :p

 

CMC also make very good models. I have a 1/18 Maserati Tipo 51 Birdcage from them and it's a stunning piece of kit. Better than any Autoart or Kyosho BUT they are around £150 and not many cars have been done. It's mostly classics and vintage racing cars. An exception is the SLR though as they do that in 1/12 and 1/18.

 

Although the 1/12 of the SLR costs a whopping £1500 or something. Better not to think about it :D

 

If you can wait until you get a model then you can get the Koenigsegg CCX which is being done by AUTOart and is scheduled for release sometime this year hopefully.

 

Theres also some other cars coming out this year in 1/18. Can't remember which ones though. I'm a member of a diecast forum and have been for a year now so I know these things ;)

 

Just seen that you can now get a 1/12 Veyron! Made by AUTOart also. But is it not a bit out of your price range? ;)

Looks amazing in Ice Blue, really :)

[Ringo_60013]

i'd say get the MC12, mainly cos i collect 1/18 scale cars and i have the other three so.... meh. which ever one you like the best so long as you're willing to pay for the quality it doesn't matter. i collect more classic 1/18 scale cars like aston martin DB5 and e-type Jags. also i have a Ferrari 250 GTO, and a Lamborghini Miura. in total i own 34 1/18 cars and 5 1/18 scale motorbikes

[The Queen]

Yeah the Miura is also quite nice. I have a yellow 1/18 AUTOart version of the SV and it looked stunning until I took it to a show :cry::rolleyes:

 

Btw the 1/12 Veyron is now officially on the AUTOart website :

Shipping is confined to Asia which sucks, not that I could afford one anyway :p

[Baltoman]

Me voted Sacuderia, Well Im a big fan of 1:18 die-cast cars but they're too expensive here, about R$200 here, so I collect the 1:64 scale cars, I have about 60 of them, and I have ALL viper models.

 

OMG... I WANT THEEEM

 

[Fridge Magnet Rabbit]

of course you would Balto :P

SEX!!! VERY RARE CAR!

*dies*

[The Queen]

I don't really think the Hotwheels Elite models are up to much. I know they are Ferrari models but....I guess it depends how much you really like the real cars or if you just want a quality model.

 

I guess i'm more with the quality model side and thats why I really like AUTOart and Kyosho. Kyosho also do Ferrari's and IMO those are the better models. Especially the ones like the 575 GTC and Daytona Racing cars ;)

[khevolution]

i would collect the AutoArt ones but i don't have any more room in my bedroom

[Eudemon]

I got 2 well 3 specials also, a 22ct Gold Plated Ferrai F50 and Lamborghini Diablo SE30 and a Police Lamborghini Diablo SE30 which was limited to 500.
