Is that Z06 a model or the real deal?

Edit: When I posted this question, I swear there was a blue Corvette with chrome Z06 wheels and red calipers sitting in a grass field as this first pic... Cardomain link mistake or am I crazy?

Why are you always getting so butt hurt when I tell you the truth about things? Someone is being super sensitive about shyt!?! If you can't take the criticism without having a heart attack why even post here?

Not sensitive, just staten the facts...saying "Welcome too two years ago" seems sensitive on your part. If you don't like what you don't see, keep it movin....

Obviously this post must bother you.....

After a few years they become valuable....especially if the Diecast makers breaks the molds. I have a 1990 1/18th Maisto model Fairlady Z that worth 400 dollars and keeps going up by the year. I have a few 1/18th pieces that are worth some money.

They put alot of detail into there models, I like muscle machines a little bit more though, they put a little more attention to interior and engine bay detail. For race cars, AutoArt is the best. Autoart makes the best detail models there are to date, so detail, they include simulated carpet like fabric for there interior. Maisto was doing that for a while too. Autoart are very expensive anywhere from $60-200 dollars for a model. Depends on scale too...

How is saying that being sensitive? Really, think before you post. If you didn't notice, I was being blunt not "sensitive".

[/QUOTE]"If you don't like what you don't see, keep it movin[/QUOTE]...."

What the hell are you talking about? You confuse me, but I never said I didn't like them, I too own several of these models.

The pic we were talking about was a blue Corvette Z06 sitting in grass. The link must have been fixed because this morning at work when I posted the question there was definately a real Vette as the first pic (w/ Cardomain logo in it) . Anybody else not notice this?

Now I see the RX-7 and it is sweet.

DailyDriver2k5, do you know of any place to get some stock RX-8 kits (1:18 scale or close preassembled or not)? I'd like one like my car and I've got two friends looking for models of their 350Z and WRX's to match their real cars.

Thanks.

I get a lot of mine from here:
DieCast Fast

They have a big selection, and decent prices. Once you buy one, they put you on a mailing list that lets you know when new stuff arrives. I have loved collecting cars since I was about 4, even at that age, I had a collection that were just for looks, never played with those cars. My parents thought I was nuts, turns out they were right.

or you could try:
AutoArt
