![]() The car for today is the Real-X Nissan Fairlady Z432R ![]() http://www.1-18scalecars.com/0Nissan_Fairlady_Z432R.htm
![]() This casting by the Japan based Real-X, comes in 1/72 scale. Other than the fact that it depicts a racing version of a 1st generation Z, I have no other info to go on. The site that I used for a quote is actually just a link to a 1/18 scale model. Details on the background of this casting would be appreciated if anyone has them. ![]() ![]() |

I can't remember whether I read this here or on another forum, but Real-X is Realtoy's new premium line. The quality certainly looks top-notch, but why did they have to make them so small? |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Good observation, James Auto, I'm not too comfortable with 1/72 as a premium car series unless you plan a diorama with 1/72 aircraft!

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Likewise the scale is my only problem with these as well. This is an excellent model, however!

Good - these ones really were hard to refuse when they came out. Likewise, i don't really want to get into 1/72, but...gee it is a great looking model! |

Milezone's had some (and that's where both craftymore and myself got ours): http://www.milezone.net/bReal-X_c_58.html At the moment it doesn't appear they have any in stock, but it never hurts to shoot Russ an email to double check! |

Thanks Sir Crafty for doing this one. I have quite afew 1/72 Real-X castings and all of them are excellent. They may be small but the detail is outstanding for such small castings. These castings and 1/72 scale castings in general are seldom discussed. I also have many 1/87 scale vehicle castings by several manufacturers. BYW, I'm not into HO railroading (1:87 scale). I just like these little guys. And I do mean little. What's amazing about many of them is the great detail at such a tiny scale. Cheers.
