Toyota Supra 3.0 GT (MA70) by ignition model

Following the arrival of the silver Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) model (earlier post), now a silver Toyota Supra 3.0 GT (MA70) model was added to my collection (here you can see the Ebbro version I got back in 2010)! The specific ignition model has lowered suspension, 18” BBS wheels, front lip spoiler, genuine rear spoiler mounted and Recaro seats. The model is limited to 160 pcs only.

Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) by ignition model

Another ignition model arrived straight from Japan! This time, I ordered the Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) in Silver / Gun Metallic colour (IG0710). The specific model has lowered suspension and cambered 14” wheels (onikyan 鬼キャン), Recaro seats and a dual muffler. I already had a very nice Celica XX model by Dism (earlier post), but this is a very beautiful model and limited to 160 pcs only!

Mitsubishi Galant Σ Hardtop 1984 brochure

Between 1976 and 1987 over three generations, the Mitsubishi Galant sedan sold in Japan was suffixed with the "Σ" badge. This a brochure of the 5th-gen Galant Σ Hardtop (E15A型), definitely one of the most beautiful Galant models produced.

Toyota Celsior F Package 2004 model by WiT's

The Lexus LS wasn't available in Japan until 2006. Until then, a domestic version badged as Toyota Celsior (トヨタ・セルシオ) was sold in Japan. This is the third-gen Celsior / LS (F30型) and the actual model colour is called White Pearl Crystal Shine. Although the photos cannot show the beauty of the colour, in real life, it is very impressive indeed!

Mitsubishi GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model by WiT's

Mitsubishi GTO (aka 3000GT) is one of my favourite Japanese sports cars from the 90s and WiT's produced two models of it. The first one was the GTO twin turbo 1990 model, while the other one was the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model. Unfortunately, my absolute favourite version was the 1994–1997 Z15A, but since I couldn't find it as a model, I opted for the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 one.
