Anyone dying for this limited edition skyline collection? Any idea how much this cost? This is the 47th anniversary edition if not mistaken. There's a 50th anniversary in year 2007 also after that.

Added on June 15, 2010, 10:46 pmAnd just to share with you guys this Hotworks Racing Nissan Skyline R34 V-Spec II.

Used to own Hotworks 1/10 bodyshell but this is first time owning the die cast and I must say that I'm very impressed with the high quality finish and detail.

Anyway. Overall condition was good and happy that I had finally collected all my dream cars in the STREET version.

So anyone could share some tips on how to clean and polish the body surface? Like what compound and sponge? I think the rust from inside can't be rescued aledi unless a re-paint.

And any idea how old is this Maisto? The last review I found about this Maisto was written on year 1999. That's 11 years ago!!!
Or even older? Year 1993 as stated in the link below?

Alloys don't rust.  That's why they use them in the 1st. place.  I notice this is very common in Maisto - sometimes even in higher end models. A collectors nightmare.  That is why I am reluctant to collect 1/18s.  I only have one 1/18, the rest 1/24 & mostly 1/43s. The larger the model, the more distinct the bulges from underneath the paint.  Metal die cast models are made of alloy i.e usually a combination of metals such as zinc, aluminium, magnesium,copper etc. Get any impurities in this combination of metals & over time will result in blisters or bulges on the surface of the models. Only way to restore your model is to strip the paint to bare metal, grind away the bulges & repaint. But then, you will loose all the decals i.e the badges & logos on the model.  Too much work for something that might not meet your expectations in the end. Might as well sell it off if you can find a buyer. 
You said you have finally collected all your dream street version cars. Are they all 1/18s?  Quite challenging to collect 1/18s. I have close to 450 pcs. of mostly 1/43s & half of which are still in their boxes. And besides cars, I collect air crafts & tanks(1/72s) I have to one day stop buying & start concentrating on getting a few dust proof cabinets to display my models or else it is pointless to keep them without the ability to appreciate them. House is looking more like a die cast model shop. Anyone out there knows where to get reasonably priced wall mounted cabinets?

Huh? So good? Pakai Aloy?
But there's one edge of the door that grind with the body, chipped off the paint and it had already started to rust with brown colour thingy.
Nah. One of it is 1/24 but the build quality is so amazing that the size doesn't really matter to me.
