Default JDM ITR and Mobil 1 NSX model pix

Just wanted to share some of the models I have completed in my spare time. (Also wanted to test out the new digi-camera Canon S110 Elph)

For this ITR model I had to physically cut the plastic springs to get rid of the wheel well gap. I also left the spoiler off, cause I've always been a big fan of that no spoiler look. And I know the ITR didn't come in silver, but since my LS was silver, I couldn't help it.

Good job. Pics are a bit blurry though.

How expensive are those? Are they tough to get your hands on? I'm in canada and would love to build a GSR/Typr R or a CTR. Do they look good up close and when completed? Where can I find more info on this?

Please email or IM n.panetta@videotron.ca

Are those all die-cast models, or did you guys piece them together yourselves? How much do they cost?

I believe that the blurry pics are from the lack of using the flash. Pictures tend to blur on the S110 when the flash is not used on indoor pictures that are dimly lit. As you can tell the sharper pictures where used with the flash. Although backgrounds become dark. This is the experience I have come upon during my ownership of the same camera for the last couple of months.

That's a Fujimi model kit.

I bought these about two years ago from http://www.hlj.com
It took about two-three weeks to arrive from Japan, but they were so inexpensive because of the exchange rate it was worth the wait. I'm seeing more and more of these at "wanabe" import shops and model stores now, but they are definitely way over priced.

I also bought and built an USDM ITR, but it's sitting at school right now. The USDM ITR was made by Revell and the quality wasn't too bad, but definitely not up to par with Tamiya, etc.

How expensive are those? Are they tough to get your hands on? I'm in canada and would love to build a GSR/Typr R or a CTR. Do they look good up close and when completed? Where can I find more info on this?
