Calsonic Impul GT-R (R35)

After i finally got my long search Calsonic Z, i found another target of getting the whole Calsonic team!
LOL..the hunting never ends..anyway here is the second Calsonic car i got recently..The GT-R!!


Actually i got poisoned by my friend Loon who posted a picture of his Xanavi team.
and since i already got the Z, why not i just start with the calsonic team? lol

Aston Martin Gulf DBR9

I always like Gulf livery on racing cars..popular ones are like the Ford GT40, Porsche 917, LMP1 etc but as always the nice ones are always hard to get..Managed to find one at last a few weeks ago..and its the DBR9!

The 2005 DBR9 had to give the front seat to this new guy now

Calsonic 350Z

After such a long search..i got it! not that its very hard to find but the prices set for it are always high and ridiculous...luckily found it at amcorp at a good price. Before i was aiming for the Tomica Limited version but that was pure impossible now so this one will do. Actually, this one is even better IMO. Enjoy the pics!


Then i found out that there is actually a variant for this car..mine was a release from 2006 while the other one is from 2004..the one in 2004 has decals at the tires but lack the windscreen decals.

Aston Martin DBR9

Another kyosho stepped in the house. the 1/18 scale version of this car by autoart really blew me away. since i don't collect big scale cars (yet?), i was hoping for a smaller version. Glad to have it in my collection. Actually any Astom Martin is nice to have. They are really beautiful indeed. 



side exhausts!! certainly better than pig nose style..heh


you would think the back lights are just painted but it is actually a separate clear piece. 
kyosho really doesn't let me down here..nice!


comparison with Hot Wheels DBS featured earlier. 
there's also a kyosho version of DBS but imo not really that appetizing..lol


And a wallpaper in 1366x768 for u guys! click to get the full size. 
surprisingly the Hot Wheels version doesn't lose in looks here..great looking side by side.

I'm aiming for the Gulf version next. seems harder to get though.

Motul Autech GT-R

After my 1st purchase of the Nismo Z few months back, i was totally in love with kyosho 1/64..the level of detailing is irresistible indeed! One of my main target then was this Motul GT-R..really glad i finally have it in hand, and at a good price too! thanks to my friend Kendrew frome Diecast Empire :D
Now let the pictures do the poisoning!! :D

though i've been referring it as Motul Autech GT-R, the one stated here is different..not sure if the naming is correct..anyway like any other kyosho, this one comes with a base, but not with the box..only a hard plastic cover as enclosure..probably because its from a "tikam" set.
(or in english is called random set or blind set? not sure ^ ^ ;)

look at the sheer details and paint job, the previous me would not be able to tell whether this is a 1/64 or not..really awesome stuff :D

The one thing I'm wondering here is what is the logo at the side represents? if u ask me, it looks more like my local school badge..hahah

close up on the detailing..click for bigger images

Never get tired of this :)


Totally no regret in getting this one..i guess i'll really start collecting kyosho 1/64 now..but probably will focus on the GT cars cuz this is where kyosho's superiority in detailing shines! Poisoned? i hope u are :P

Nismo Z Test Car

Finally, after keep being poison by my friend ADvedder and Lkwanz from HWCM,
I got my first kyosho diecast! LOL.
Kyosho is well known for its superiority in detailing and accuracy of its products; on par with minichamps, autoart etc. The level of quality you would expect from their 1:18 scale cars is not missing even in their 1:64 scale cars. Anyway let my pictures do the poisoning now :P

the back looks like a batman car..lol


There are two versions of this one with one being the 2005 test car and the other is 2007, mine is the 2007 which i think has slightly more tampo on the casting.
anyway since it's a test car, u will not find much sponsor decals on it.


size comparison with Tomica version of the casting. A bit smaller than the Tomica but the accuracy of the kyosho is definitely top notch! I dont have the Tomica Limited version to compare but it still uses the same casting as the regular tomica so this comparison is acceptable.



I have to admit though Kyosho cars are not cheap.
if I am really gonna collect kyosho cars I'll hafta leave the others..heheh
this one though, i grabbed it from HLJ during their sale..it certainly worth it..
hope more Kyosho cars will be put on sale in the coming months! :P
