NSX scale models

Shawn- glad I could help complete your collection :biggrin:
you have the rarest Ebbro's around . Still need the Zanardi to catch up but no way I'd shell out $1600 for a 1/43 :biggrin:

hmmm, Steve brought up a good point, wondering why the Zanardi (1/43) models came standard with side markers

I finally got the missing piece to the collection, my Ebbro 1:43 model Zanardi, signed by the man himself! Uehara! I cant f'ing believe it! Im so excited! Im going nuts!

It was a gift from a guy at Honda, I was blown away when it came in the mailA very, very nice guy who will hopefully be joining our community soon enough:wink: It was the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for me:redface:

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving NSX enthusiast. And now it completes your collection of Zanardi memorbilia.

Awesome, Mike. Very happy for you.:smile:

Very cool Mike!

Here's an update to my NSX scale model collection in pictures below...books now included too!

Rec'd the new Kyosho 1/43 Orange NSX Type S today. Very impressive. Looks like Kyosho changed their NSX molds/cast b/c this one is much better than their previous efforts. Better wheel detail, better interior, and the engine detail is the best I've seen in a 1/43 model. This one is even better than the Ebbros.

Buying the NA1 NSX-R version now. :smile:

We need pics...Im searching for that one.

As promised

 

[Ponyboy]

Jeez, Mike. Even I take better pics than that. Are the sides of the box blank like mine?

Rec'd the Kyosho version of the NA1 NSX-R in Championship White. Just as good in detail as the Orange Type-S. Body looks better proportioned than previous Kyoshos. A mm wider than the Ebbro version too (at the rear wheels). Not so much brake detail. Good interior.

Have to say, I think they're the best mass produced 1/43 nsx models right now.

This guy's detail is amazing...The car is so damn shiny too.

Sorry if its a repost...I'm really impressed with the quality of this model. Check out some of his other buildups...nice work.

This 1/43 is rare. it's made by Honda Access in Japan. Limited Edition !

Have some background information on Red-N's 1/43. 1000 made total. Made by hand by Komori Yasuhiro and sold through Honda Access. Examples come on a plaque, in a nice black box, small booklet, serial number, and with a short description of the model maker.

Fairly rare. Worth around $400 with all of the above.

Still looking for an Imola! :frown:

Hi Ponyboy,
I just noticed something odd about the side markers on your Zanardi.
Do you know why your Zanardi model has JDM side markers and USDM side markers? I thought Zanardis' only have USDM side markers (for US market).

 

[Ponyboy]

It's the same configuration on all of the Ebbro Zanardis.

 

[NA1/2-R GT]

You guys meant this?

Erik - I too have been searching for a NA2 +02 Imola NSX and no one makes one unfortunately. Your best bet will be to order an Ebbro 1:18th I presume and re-paint it. That's what I'm doing. The only Imola Orange I have located is the one I have (pictured above) from Kyosho in 1:18th scale that is NA1.

You might be able to get 1:24th, 1:43rd scale in Imola Orange +02 but I doubt it.

Who needs a model when you had the real thing? :smile:

Had...is the operative word. I'll get another soon...

The reason I have these models is for decoration purposes and its fun collecting different colors, etc. My original plan was to have every color in both NA1 (flip up) and NA2 (exposed) headlights but might be harder than I think.

They come in a variety of colors too. I've got a Kaiser Silver one.

Ebbro came out with the '97 Avex Group JGTC NSX #18. My first R/C car was a Tamiya version of this.

It's all over eBay so pick one up!

 

[nsxot1c]

My one and only... :biggrin:

Real life too haha

 

[Ponyboy]

Rec'd the '97 Avex Group JGTC NSX #18 1/43 Ebbro yesterday. Ebbro seems to have upped their game as well. Detail is amazing. Several interesting differences from previous models:

- steering wheel outer rim is painted red. Not the face, mind you, but the outer rim.
- Takata harness clearly labeled.
- speedometer with lettering.
- Actual writing all over the interior.
- better exhaust and brake detail.

Great model overall. Glad Ebbro is going old skool. Maybe they'll produce the Le Mans turbo NSX.
