OZ930 Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 I'm hanging out to find a nice 1/18 model of the 956 and 917. Exoto make a nice one, out of production now I believe and expensive. I was too. Found my on e-bay for about half the original selling price from Exoto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 I like the idea of models of pivotal cars I have owned, but where am I going to find models of 4 cyl LC Toranas, GXL XC Falcons and LB/LC Lancers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrera28 Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 I like the idea of models of pivotal cars I have owned, but where am I going to find models of 4 cyl LC Toranas, GXL XC Falcons and LB/LC Lancers? My ambition is the same which is to have a model car of every car I have owned. In the end the comprimise I had to make was that for some cars I bought a racing version of the car. I couldn't find an XD Falcon at a price I was willing to pay but in the end got a Dick Johnson 1/43 scale Group C racer. If you are willing to stretch the definition to include race cars you can probably get all three. You would surprised the number of Japanese cars that you can get in 1/43. I think in Japan they were not called Lancers but at various times Colts, Mirages, Galants etc. If you research this and expand your search terms you may find what you want.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-43-Kit-Built-Mitsubishi-Colt-Lancer-Rs-J-Singh-1-safari-76-Mini-racing-/171369110989?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item27e6651dcd&_uhb=1http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-Galant-GTO-1970-Model-Norev-1-43-/400625600518?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item5d47258806&_uhb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 Unforrunatetly I cant claim NOH20 as mine. Its a mates for his rat beetle. Still trying to buy it from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 At the risk of train-spotting, the LA lancer is much more freely available in model form than the LB, but yeah, I'm sure they are out there somewhere. 4 cyl toranas not so much (with good reason lol) but as it was my first car, it has meaning to me beyond the actual value of the car. I've owned more cars than most people have in matchbox collections so I'm not that ambitious (used to buy and sell them to fund my engineering certificate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-18-Minichamps-Porsche-956L-Porsche-917-20-1-18-DIecast-car-model-/111395400918?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&var&hash=item19efaeecd6&_uhb=1 Thanks for the heads up. I had an alert on ebay for years and was receiving emails but all quite dear. Haven't looked for about a year now. I might look at these a more carefully.

FlatSix Posted 15January, 2015 Report Share Posted 15January, 2015 snapped up this badboy from ebay a few weeks ago, Paul Newmans 1979 (Also my year of manufacture) Le Mans 935 for a steal...... There is a guy who will build a 1/18 replica of your car here - ScalePassion but he is far from cheap. Russ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
