Toyota TS010 model by HPI

Toyota entered the 24h Le Mans race, for the first time, back in 1985. It wasn't though until 1992 that got the long desired podium finish, with the TS010 finishing 2nd. So, it nice to have added a TS010 in my collection!  This is a model of TOM'S TS010 #8 24h Le Mans race car, which finished 8th in the race.

Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept diecast model arrived!

My Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept model (earlier post) just arrived and it really looks amazing! It should look nice next to my Sprinter Trueno AE86 model (earlier post)…

Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) scale model by HPI

This HPI scale model of the Nissan Fairlady Z Z34 (aka 370Z) arrived today, but unfortunately it is damaged as the steering column has been broken. Anyway, I just thought that it would be nice to post some photos of it before returning it back. The level of detail is really impressive!

NISMO GT-R LM Road Car scale model by HPI

The latest addition to my next big order (earlier post), arriving at the end of February, is a NISMO GT-R LM Road Car (1996) scale model by HPI. The actual car is a street legal version of the R33s racing in 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was built by NISMO in order to meet the homologation regulations. Oh, and it's certainly among the most expensive 1/43 scale models I've got... as it costs 10,880 ¥ and thus, I had to remove the Nissan Skyline (HR31) No.23 1987 Inter Tec model from the order...

Toyota FT-86 G Sports Concept & Sprinter Trueno AE86 diecast models

I cannot resist ordering new scale models... and this time I ordered a couple of 1/43 ones which should look nice next to each other!
