Default Nice IS-F Model Car 1:43 HPI

I know people are looking for scale model's of the F's, but they cost way too much.

I just bargained model car down to just $55.00, it's the exact same color (Dark Gray Mica) of my real F and looks great.

Looks good. I'm surprised there's no 1:18 scale yet.

I got the matador red one to match my F. A bigger one would be sweet. I also got a framed pic also same color of the IS-F that the dealership had hung up in one of the manager's offices.

Wow $55 that's cheap. I have one in Smoky Granite Mica and one in Ultrasonic Blue but I paid a lot more for each. Here's some old pics of my "Mini-me"

Those are some awesome pics! Do you have white leather interior? If you do, I haven't seen anyone else with that color combo like mine.

Nice find, good price too!

If anyone is into RC cars, HPI makes a "widebody" IS-F, and they also sell scale version of name brand wheels like Work and Volk. I painted mine starfire pearl to match my car (although i dont have an F) as well as replica Work's paint match bronze barrel and matte black faces , dont have any good pics but here's a few:





Here is another atop my car

Yes I have the white aka Alpine interior in my car. For the HPI models, only the USB color comes with white interior. Originally I was going to take the cars apart and swap the interiors to match my car but I kept procrastinating and still I haven't done it yet....

Even at the time USB was hard to find, and cost a premium over the other colors. I imagine it be even harder to find now, unless someone sells it off their own collection. (No, not selling mine. )
