do u know the maisto R8 spoiler can be taken out into action?

myke: The BBurago is not a real BBurago F50. That's a modified one ! Great looking tyres. Where did you find those black rims? Looks ganas.

Anyway, there's not so many 1/18 scale F50. Maisto, BBurago, HW and HW Elite if I'm not wrong. Rarely see a HW Elite.

Will try and peek at the Tamiya shop at 1U. But chances probbaly already gone. If still got, I'm willing to bet they will not let go at a price tempting enough for me to take it home. Don't think that will happen. Malaysia mah... Some more Tamiya brand is overpriced stuff over here.


hokuan: Yes, the 1/12 Carrera GT is tempting indeed. Thought about it. Dangerous. Anyway, initial plan was to get 1/43 scale and 1/18 but somehow somewhere along the way, came across a deal too tempting to resist and I landed with a 1/12.


saru88: Believe it or not, I got the Super Elite for not so much more expensive than a regular Elite. Anyway, I'm anxious to see more of your comparison pics of the BBurago and Autoart Reventon.

Eh, no Suzuka Grey Audi R8 ah? <cabbuut>


aurion: That's the spirit man. Well, you can still sembang sembang here and provide valuable input and tips. Keep it up.


Jasonist: The F50 is relatively heavy. I weigh it just now and the scales showed 2 kg.



Ok, can you guess what these are? They're from the BBR box.




REALCollector: I've also lost count on my items already. Expenditure? Anyway, speaking about black beauty, I've got some pics to show too. Will try and post later.


leroy87: Send your F50 for major respray and polish. BTW, what make is your F50?

1/18 can, 1/24 cannot.

Nice shots of the F50 there...

My latest haul a Maisto 1:18 Porsche Carerra GT. Really not bad looking at all for the price we are paying for Maisto's die cast cars.

Kyosho F40 LightWeight?

khsj: Thanks. Yeah, the Maisto Carrera GT is one of a kind. If you read on forums and websites, in certain ways the Maisto is even better than Autoart's version ! Truly a great buy for good price. What colour did you get?

I have a red one (yeah my Minichamps is also red) and if you put the Maisto and the Minichamps side by side, you'd be hard pressed to differentiate which is which. Paint work is excellent and as good as the Minichamps. Hope you can share some photos of your Maisto Carrera GT.


Blank19: You very hebat ! Perhaps my photo was a little too "revealling". Next step is can you guess what colour is the F40? Should not be too hard.

Anyway, can you guess what's the other two? Some more clues here...





Small one came in today from US.

jchue73:its been quite awhile didnt drop by here already.from the box i guess should be red colour,but i am stand to be corrected =P
ouch the other 2 is a mountain to climb for me though,1 of them is prancing horse?

i need to get myself a maisto carrera gt since the quality is quite good...can post some pics of the Maisto and Minichamps?

saru88: nice one! i was once thinking deep of getting one since its the only R8 which is available in the iconic silver color... but end up getting none coz i was thinking could get a better one from Kyosho in the future... now Kyosho has released the Suzuka Grey and i still have no chance to get it coz its SOLD OUT immediately in Australia... now wana get one is like finding a needle in the deep sea!

jchue73: the F50 wheels look awesome there! i can see one is F40 lightweight which im looking to get one too... cant see much though, but the car looks pretty sleek while being covered by the tissue cloth... more clues leh...

khsj: yes... the Maisto Carrera GT is one of the best looking models Maisto ever produced... im surprised on the ability of Maisto in making good quality diecast on this model... got this for free since i have Bonuslink points for Parkson purchases...

jchue73: the Bburago F50 was made in Italy but modified in Malaysia i painted the rims to black and restore couple of details coz its 12 years+ already...looks like you shop everyday last few weeks leh..my guess would be a black F40 LW, white M6 & grey M3 E93? can hit lottery ar?... you should prepare some gifts for those who got it correct just kidding

jasonist: sleek Carrera GT although i'm not a porsche fan

i heard R8? wait for me to spam together of your upcoming DTM theme

the maisto carrera gt got two variations if i'm not wrong....1 is concept and 1 one is production car..

wow...just stumbled upon this thread & it looks too tempting to resist!
Think I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon
Anyone know where to get the Herbie Beetle(Love Bug) beetle from?

mirage-rs:Yep finally it's reveal.Thanks for looking.
chobo:Thanks for your comment...planing to get one?

Blank19: I knew you would be fooled by the box. It's a black F40 LW. The main pics on the box shows red colour though but the serial number and description states black. Both the other two boxes are also prancing horses. But what can they be?


Jasonist: Great photos of the Carrera GT as usual. The car in the other 2 boxes look sleek and slender indeed. Nobody wants to take more guesses? Just a peek at the black F40 LW.






Anyway, nice black Carrera GT there. I'm actually hunting for the white one. But only Autoart makes this colour.

Well, I'm actually looking to modify the wheels of the F50 to a black one like what myke did for his BBurago. Make it more like the one on the F50 GT.





Black rims with red lining would look great indeed.


myke: Great mod there especially since the BBurago F50 is more than 12 years old. Ok, the first one you got correct. Great guess. Second and third one wrong mate. Guess again. Aiyah, if I have to give prices for correct guesses, I pokai lah.


Anyway, in general I'm not a fan of Porsche too but the Carrera GT is a different Porsche to my eyes. So it does get a special place in my collection. The other one that is different and that I like also is the 911 GT1 used in the 1998 FIA GT series and Le Mans.


saru88: Wah, now you poison with R35 pics pulak? Somehow the R35 eludes me. I'm still undecided on the Kyosho or the Autoart. Yeah, the Super Elite was about close to RM 470 after conversion. Close to the price you would pay for a good Autoart model. Well, the shipping was a killer though.


subaru22b: Finally ! Great addition man. Congrats. The version 10 is very seldom seen.


leroy87: If the condition of your F50 is bad, why not just spray it flat black? Would be very nice I think.


khsj: Great photos man. Especially the ones on the internals.


Anyway, today these two boxes came in the morning. One from Thailand (white box) and the other from Italy. At the first look, the one from Italy looks weird because it was packed like that to include 2 units of 1/43 scale. Ingenious I think. REALCollector would be happy since yesterday's package was also 2 units of 1/43 scale. The package from Thailand was opened by Kastam to check as indicated by the sticker tape. Presumably since it came from Thailand, they probably suspected something illegal?

Anyway, let the guessing game begin again... Anybody want to take a shot as what are the 1/43 scale models and what's in the box from Thailand? The box from Thailand contains a single 1/18 model. The person who guess it right for all will get the Tamiya F50.
