Has anyone bought a Kyosho model before? Whats their quality like?

I have an Autoart R34 GTR and have found an Autoart R32 and was just wondering if one was any better than the other.

The Autoart R32 is currently out of stock so if Kyosho is a good brand i will just get it.

Cheers

AutoArt is about the best of the mass-produced models that I have come across.

I didn't know that AutoArt did an R32, I might have a look at getting one. I have a bunch of model cars of all different brands - Hot Wheels Die Cast, autoart, bburago, maisto etc.

Does anyone know of an R33 GTR die cast model? I don't care what it costs, I want one.

I have the AutoArt R32 GTR, top quailty!!

[weetbix]

Might wait till they get more of the AutoArt R32 in stock then. And yes if anyone knows of an R33GTR 1:18 scale model.....plese tell.

Cheers

Highly doubtful, but you might be lucky to find a collection of model drift cars or something which may have a Cefiro, but I don't like your chances.

Also have a 1970 GTR from Kyosho, also top quailty!

I have about 60 1:18 scale die cast models of all sorts of cars.

Autoart is by far the best quality of all the manufacturers, and the cost of them indicate that as they are all around $110 mark

Kyosho and Autoart are both top quality Diecast car Manufacturers.

One is not better than the other.....

It really depends on the specific model they do, for Example the new Kyosho R32 GTR sh*ts on the Autoart equivilent, yet on another car the Autoart one may be a better replica.

Minichamps also make some quality 1/18 models

Heres a few of mine:

Autoart Porsche GT3R and Minichamps Sierra

Revell Opel Manta, Autoart Audi Quattro and Autoart Torana SLR5000

Autoart R32 GTR

Kyosho 240z, Revell 350z and Kyosho 2000 GT-R

Autoart R34 GTR

BTW, I have found at $129 IKEA make the best Value for money Display Cabinets, they are about 6ft tall, all glass, and have 4 display levels (3 x 1/18 cars per), they also come with a light

This is the new Kyosho R32 GTR, it dos'nt show it in the pics but you can remove the boot floor to reveal the space saver tyre, and fold the seats etc.

Ebbro are the only people who produce the R33 GTR afaik, its only in 1/43rd scale however

Heres a few more Pics of the amazing detail of the KYOSHO R32 GTR

I have seen the ones on EBay, they are too small, from memory, 1:43 scale. Like the grey one a couple of posts above.

I want one in 1:18 (preferably), or even 1:24 scale.

[GTRsean]

Got me a red Kyosho R32 GTR as well for $99, same colour as my car.

Love the detail. I actually pulled out the space saver spare and it's just like the real one.

It lives with my 1:18 1991 bathurst winner GTR.

[oscar32]

I got the red one too. Very very very happy with it. Especally for the price.

Detail is awesome, just wish I didn't break the wiper off it
