1/24 Jada 2010 Ford Mustang GT

Finally got this baby at long last. Saw this one on eBay some time back, but shipping here would cost a bomb. Went to Summit today. And by luck this was there, and there was a discount that came with it. I was kinda indecisive between this color and the black. Decided that the red/maroon would look better.

Love the new 2010 'stangs' front end. The newly redesigned headlights is beautiful. On the Jada, it is very well replicated.Another view of the front. Side signal in place, not messy.
Front and rear wheels. ==" The wheels are HUGE. And very deep. I only wished that this was the stock wheels, as Jada did on the GT-R and the Camaro.
Side view. Those monster wheels are, somehow, growing on me~
Three quarter rear end view. look at how wide the wheels are.
Rear view. Love the lights here. Pity there's some minor paint chips on the matt black part.
Interior shot. Decent. Love it.
Engine shot. Strut bar was not on the 2005 model though. Love that inclusion.

Wow, even the boot opens ! Nice touch~

I'd give this a 8/10. Safe for the rims, which could score a 9/10 from me. But what the heck, this looks really good. loving it every second.

1/18 Hotwheels Batmobile Tumbler

Being a fan of Batman will not feel complete if this replica of Tumbler is absent from the collection. As it is my case, I was waiting for this car to be made in 1/24 but it's obvious that none of diecast manufacture is dare enough to put the 1/24 one into production. Luckily, Hotwheels's 1/18 Tumbler is so undersized and it's somewhere around 1:22.5 scale so I picked the Hotwheels one to fill up my Batman's collection =D

So here are the pics

Finished on semi gloss black color, very batmobilish.

The front wheels are oversized, no doubt.

Nice rubber wheels, great exhaust too.

Wild!

The canopy door can be half opened with a bit of effort =D

Considering its price, scale, and details, my rate for this car would be 9/10, well done Hotwheels!

Thanks for dropping by!

1/24 Maisto Ferrari Enzo

Got this exotic Ferrari car as birthday present from my close friend. I must say that this car really hypnotizes me to adore it. It's a-must-have 1/24 car for Ferrari fans I reckon.

Black window frame & lining was DIY.




And for fun, I changed the rims with SSR Professor VF-1 from Aoshima.



Rate for this car would be 8.5/10

Thanks for looking.

1/24 Jada 2006 Mustang GT Battle Machine

Shipped it from US down to Melbourne for about AUD 35. I was curious about this Jada's Battle Machine line so I was so eager to get it. I thought I would get a nice replica of Death Race's Mustang, in fact, this model is really like a toy with those ridiculous rocket launchers. But still, it's a must-have-Mustang-diecast for Mustang lover.

Nice dirt effect on well painted matt body color

So wild looking from the side

Watch out the rockets. Look, nice emblem there.

Again! Rockets spotted! Argghh..

The interior. A bit plain & boring.

It's just so tidy for a 'death car wannabe' car LOL

A not bad diecast by Jada.

I would rate 7/10

Thanks for looking.

1/18 Autoart Honda Intergra Type R DC5

Here's the Honda Integra Type R from Autoart. This is a 1/18 scale model.
Details are sharp on this model.
Front end looks very good.
Very realistic rear end. The light clusters are also very well reproduced.
Very well detailed engine bay.
Realistic wheels. Disc brake spins independent from callipers.

This AutoArt gets a 8.5/10 rating from me. Sure, there are small imperfections, but as a overall package, this Honda is near perfection.

1/24 Motor Max Aston Martin DB9

Been hunting for this for a while also. Got it for Rm50, which was Maisto's old price. Not too bad, I suppose, for that level of pricing.
Side view. Looks menacing~
Front view. Love the grille and headlights combo.
Rear shot. The lights still looks good.
Front and rear wheel shots. Wheels are well detailed, but no disc brake detailing. :/
Engine detailing is better than what Maisto offers. Love that V12~
Interior has some woodgrain-like finishing, not bad at all.
My favorite angle.

Overall, I'd give this car a 8/10. Niggles like ride height (a lil too high), no disc brakes are forgiven. AFAIK, no other makers does a 1/24 Aston Martin..
