1/24 Maisto Nissan GT-R R35 Custom

Sorry for the lack of updates, been very busy lately. Here's a custom job

This is how it looks like, before customization

And this is after.

Now even the boot opens

Overall, I feel this makes the car look much better. Click on the pic to view in a higher resolution ;)

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.

1/24 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.

1/24 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..

1/24 Maisto Ford Mustang GT 2006

I've been hunting for this model for quite a while already, and when my friend found it for me, I was really ecstatic.
Here's the front view. Looks quite good with the lowered body..
Also looks good from here. Studs/stems are not too obvious.

Rear view. Exhaust unpainted, but the rest looks fine.
Side view. Door gaps are a wee bit too large, but then it's no big deal.
Wheels are pretty well done, but pity there are no brake details. Even the Ford logo can be seen clearly.
Interior detailing is so-so. Nothing to shout about. Love the silver accents.
Here's the Mustang's V8. I respect Maisto for the smallest decal in the engine bay, Well done.

Overall, I'd give the Mustang a 7/10 rating. I do suspect that the Revell (plastic) have better details.

1/24 Jada Nissan GT-R R35

I recently got myself a replica of Japanese beast of GT-R R35 in red hot color. Unlike Eric's Maisto R35, this car is made by Jada which is slightly bigger than any 1/24 car. I must admit that Jada's one is more superior than Maisto's in both quality and detail. No wonder that Jada's R35 is much more expensive than Maisto's one. Unfortunately, I don't have the Maisto's R35 thus I cannot make head-to-head comparison of both cars. However, you may refer to the earlier post of Eric's R35 to give you a picture of Maisto's R35.

The red body paint is awesome. The picture just somehow doesn't do the car justice.

The emblem is nicely done. A bit of paint chips on the lips but would be easily fixed with airbrush touch up.

Paint chips spotted, again! The trunk is 'openable' by the way.

Thanks God! Rearlight is made by plastic. Better than Maisto's red painted backlight.
Nice exhaust tips as well.

Perfect wheels I supposed. Look at that brake hiding behind the wheels, lovely.
Maisto's R35 doesn't have any brake behind its steerable wheels.
The GT-R emblem really gives more details to its exterior.

Opening engine hood, doors, and trunk.

The engine is nicely detailed. Thanks jada for forgetting the chrome here.

Interior is not bad for 1/24 quality. Again, thanks Jada for not throwing any ridiculous ICE there.

Overall, it is a decent 1/24 diecast you can get from Jada and a must have diecast car for GTR's fans. In my honest opinion, it's one of the best Jada cars.

I love this car so much. My rate is 9/10 for it.

Thanks for looking.
