    Received my BMW 750li by Iscale from BMW today!, Great value, amazing model, reminds me of an old Kyosho model, and and the solidity of the Chinese DE models. Now only the soon-to-be introduced A8 needs to be in 1:18 *excited*

    I kinda' wanted one, but it has so many issues..for one, it has a fuel tank door on the left rear fender, but in reality it should be behind the rear plate..also the red car should have the exact same tail lamps as the cab. II was thinking tio buy both and swap chassis & tail lamps and add real chrome trim on the lower and black trim the rear light from 1986 -1991 like on the real car..

    I got it from modelcarworld_fr - mine is the silver one with the dark grey interior, depending on the light, the doors doesnt seem to match the body-colour of the main shell. My Oldsmobile 98 by Sunstar also has a wierd isue where the material gets ''softened'' and it attracts dirt/dust and it sticks there/

    ...and that my friend is why I went with BLACK ;) I also noticed that on some other member's photos before I bought mine. That said, if I didn't have to order the white one from S.Korea I would've went with that direction...

    Just treated myself a 1:18 emerald green S-Class Coupe by Norev for my birthday on friday! :D

    I think the S-Class Coupe is a sexy beast. I actually liked it in pictures, but when I first saw one in person, I fell in love with it. I don't know which color I want to get yet, but you picked a timeless color combination in my opinion. Enjoy it, and have a happy birthday!

    Thanks guys! I didn't like the S-Coupe when it was released, but when I really looked at it, it really is a beautiful car! and I've seen one in metal, gorgeous car. It looks wider than it
    really is! The wheels on the model looks awful though.

    The model looks very good and the usual CHinese DE models quality - and yes, the car is great! lighter than a CTS and a great car overall. A good direction for Cadillac.

    I got a white one! the grey one is nice but white to me looks better, and I need some white Cadillacs in my collection. If they made a black one with tinted windows, it will be perfect! Mine came from China, got it for a very good price, around 180usd free shipping, surprisingly, the shipping is very fast, I purchased it on Sunday and now its on its way here (UK)

    That's a nice find, Paul! I always wanted one but never got around to buying it. Based on pictures and reviews, it's an exceptional model, especially considering that the model (as well as the subject) is a decade old. Congrats!

    It is a near-Autoart quality!. The amount of features are similar to the Chinese DE models.. Although some things lets it down like the sticker wood-grain material on the dash, the lack of headliner, and the panel gaps/ill fited parts. I wanted a black one but they are very expensive. But the pearl white looks really nice. Some people may disagree but I think that this generation of Escalade is beautiful.

    I now have 2 1:43 resin Lincoln Town Cars! 2011 and 1986 models, now I need the 1990 model and also the 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and the 1993 model. These resin 1:43 models are addictive!

    The Mark IV is on my list, and so is the Mark V and the Mark VI. Some Neo models are inaccurate though... such as the Town Car I got.. It's a 1986 model, but some list it as a 1982 model. It has a 1985-87 grille but with a 1988-89 tailights.

    How strong/durable are resin models? Hi everyone.. I recently got a 1:43 Lincoln Town Car 2011 by Luxury Diecast... one of my favorite cars. It is on it's way and I am wondering, how durable or how tough are they? as strong as regular plastic model cars in general? they seem pretty fragile, and I only got it because I really like the model of the car. I just wanna make sure.

    Just waiting for my Autoart Volvo 850 T-5R Sedan to arrive next week! I needed a good 'ol boxy Volvo in my collection, though it is the wrong colour for a Volvo, should be grey or white, but can;t do anything as the original vehicle only came in yellow cream... better than nothing though, cuz the black 850R diecast model is more rare and more attractive in my honest opinion.

    Fantastic! I usually only collect models of cars available in the U.S., but that Odyssey model has been seriously tempting me!

    Nice!, I mostly collect everyday cars or luxury cars or any cars I just like... The Odyssey that I have is a grey, JDM Model with a different exterior design with the Stateside models. It is a nice model with lots of interactive features such as a functioning interior!; 3rd row seats do move/recline/conceals, then the 2nd row seats move forward and so is the driver's row.
