IMO, it's the best model car I have ever seen or owned. The details are amazing. Nice and heavy, excellent quality. Heck, the paint is even smooth enough to WAX (and yes, I HAVE waxed it... isn't that sad???).

So yeah, let me know if you hear anything on the Kyosho's or Autoart's...
I will let you know. I used to collect diecasts and yes, I waxed all mine too. Even built a small photo booth to take pictures of them...

Where'd she buy that transformer?!
On a related note, I made a Tamiya 370Z plastic model a few months back: 370Z Model | Facebook

Dck- very nice! i sometimes wish i took courses in air brushing when i was younger...

ive been to tamiya's booth at toy shows where this talented artist was demonstrating their airbrush on a 1/24 scale car like yours. it's AMAZING how clean and thin they can paint the body panels. honestly it's better looking than any diecast ive seen.

Yeah I've been into plastic models for a long time now. I've also made an Enzo Ferrari a few years back. I'm thinking about doing an SLS AMG in matte black next, or if an LFA becomes available I'll hold out for that.
I just wish I had a better camera. :'(

Yeah, I was a model building whore as well. Had a website and everything. Oh god I'd go to my workshop at 8PM and by the time I would go to bed it would be sunrise.

I NEED MORE!!! Like when Autoart or Kyosho do it...

Yeah the hot wheels thing isn't really that great to look at, but hey, it was 98 cents, and might be a collectable My kid was trying to play with it, but I told him sorry, it can't be opened!!!
