I hope they realease the 02+ models so I can swap parts

Wow, Now that's a 1/18 nsx model I'd buy. Thanks for sharing that.

 

[Mugen NSX-R]

The attention to detail is flawless, looks like I will be buying one also for my collection

 

[ragecorps]

it's beautiful! thanks for the link

Damn its almost perfect except for the rear lower valence!!! Its all red instead of being black in the middle!! if they correct that it would've been pure sex.

For a model maker, that is a major oversight. Since it is not yet available, it is prudent that they fix that before releasing the model.
I have always wanted a NSX 1/18 but have always been underwhelmed by the Kyosho. As an alternative, I have the 1/12 Rosso, several Tamiyas and 1/24 Kyosho NSX-R instead. This AA looks great and will be a buy. I wish they could make a white NA1 NSX-R version later.

Well since we are being picky I might as well point out all the inaccuracies such as the stamped floor board underneth the seats are suppose to be bare metal color, the splash shield in front under the bumper is suppose to be all black, the offset of the rim is too low and also the diameter does not seem to scale on the 15/16 inch wheels. I am however impressed with the interior and the under hood detail. The shape of the body is also spot on.

Also the all red lower valance in the rear can easily be cured by painting the thing yourself at home.

Of course, the AA is lowered too. I will mod the heck out of it when I get one.

If they make the same for 02+, I'm all over it. That's gorgeous.

 

[fkong777]

its a Millennium edition.. Those cost over $100 if you can get your hands on one.

Maybe I should place an order for a few from my wholesaler

Not only that, the darn steering wheel is on the wrong side. :tongue::biggrin:

I need to find out how to get one of these.

 

[oscar_driver]

Actually I LOVE that is lower, my Kyosho model looks like 4x4 ..... every time I think about "lowering it" ///

Shawn,

Just what we need, more die-cast NSX's. I'll take 2:biggrin:

 

[PHOEN$X]

Do want! May have to sell some of my other models to make room for this one..

 

[PUREVIL]

Does it come in black?

Autoart makes the best models imo

I contacted AutoArt regarding the release date and color selection of the upcoming NSX model, I received the following response:

Dear Mr. Welsh III,

For the Honda NSX, it will be produced under AUTOart Millennium series, but this car has more openings than others so the price will be little bit higher.

What email did you use to contact them? I want to know if they are going to do one with the 1994 style wheels, or a 95 targa would be even better!

I seriously doubt that additional variations of the NSX will be made, but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.

Nice 1/18 die cast if they can correct the rear valance for the non-black cars. The question however, is it $200 nice?

It's almost $200 nice IMHO; though $200 is a little high considering some of the errors. Now, if someone here could get us a group buy, maybe they could get the price down for us.

not for me:biggrin:

 

[Ponyboy]

$200 is a little high considering the "msrp" of previous NSX models. However, in the high end auto model world, it's not bad at all. Sports Car Market Magazine reviews high end models (and other collectibles) in every issue and most need multiple corrections and are 2x, 3x, 4x, the price.

You should see what people pay for old tin gas company signs, etc.

 

[SFDreamer]

Thank you very much for the heads up. Need one.

 

[Jin1976]

I'm getting one when it's out. The one I got from AutoArt is 2003 white JGTC NSX No.0. The details look amazing in person. Even the printing on the brake caliper can be seen.

 

[NSXrunner]

They need to bring out some of the early JGTC models. I am looking forward to this when it comes out. Thanks for the heads up!
