Cool Diecast models?

Anyone know if they sell a diecast model of the SC3/4? Like the ones that Maisto and some other companies make? I've seen the SC430, but have yet to come across an SC300/400 one.

I've seen a 1/72 sized, didn't look great, and the shop wanted too much for it. The hotwheels ones in my opinion aren't that great, I sort of like the micromachine x-ray sc400s, clear tiny sc, saw them on ebay a while ago. I have seen a plastic model as well, would be very cool to have. Type in soarer when you are doing the search you will find some things you wouldn't normally... in ebay. GL let us know if you find anything.

I think some of them is discontinued and if you can find somewhere, they are rare. I think I got mine around $20. I remember Aoshima or Tamiya used to make Lexus SC400 model.
But those are not diecast so you need to build yourself with glue and paint them the color you like

onelasttry,

Did you paint the head and tail lights on that dark one or did it come like that? I have several Hotwheels SCs that are unicolor, one is purple, another green, and another blue.

Taka,

Does the hood and/or doors open on that 1/24 scale?

Yup same here, I haven't really finished yet... actually I've just started hehehe... it's a JZZ30 Soarer 2.5GT, which you can turn into a drift version (I'm keeping mine stock though).

The companies that I've seen are:
- Aoshima: Soarer 2.5GT, Soarer 4.0GT-L
- Fujimi: Soarer 2.5GT, Soarer 4.0GT-L, SC400 (US spec LHD)

you can start at www.hlj.com they're plastic models that you need to assemble

this is the current soarer model that aoshima makes. the other ones may be hard to come by
