Look what my RX7 buddy sent me...

NOOOO!!!!!
It should be the other way around! of course he doesn't agree.

That's a great picture, too bad the cars used are 1/18 models!

This came up about a year ago. The give-away was the US and JDM front fender blinkers placedon the model. Damn good photo though IMO.

what about the door handle on the nsx? or is that just a lock for a HUGE key?

Not to mention that'd it'd be one hell of a hard time rigging up a tow package on an NSX....

Yet, it has been done. Granted, not for the tongue weight that setup would generate.

I would say the HUGE gap between the front fender and the door on both cars gave it away for me.

After further scrutiny of this picture, I'd have to say that it is a fair representation.

The RX-7 has obviously brokendown and the more reliable NSX is coming to the rescue.

Well,
If you were to look inside the Yellow NSX, unless it is a stripped race unit, or there is a new interior color, the yellow behind the driverside window gives it away.

What I want to know is where can I get an aluminum model of the NSX that has functioning doors, hood etc?

-Electro

 

[Lud]

I don't know about aluminum, but the Kyosho 1:18 is the one in the pictures and has opening trunk, hood, doors, headlights, etc.

The hood on my kyosho model does not open...did i get a defective one?

 

[Lud]

Hmmm maybe the hood doesn't open (I haven't messed with mine in years) but most of the stuff does.

Gee, the hoods on all of my Kyosho models open and reveal full under-hood detail including removable spare tire and working brake fluid reservoir.

Actually - the hoods do not open on the Kyosho models - and they are not aluminum. Most models of this type are cast in a white metal alloy such as zamac. Minor gripe on the Kyosho models: they used to include a prop for the engine cover which is not on the new ones...
