![]() Today's car of the day is Real-X's 2000 Subaru Legacy Wagon GT. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Legacy ![]() I had a thing for a little while, randomly picking up a bunch of 1/72 scale cars. They tended to be more detailed and properly scaled with proper manufacturer's wheels/rims. Real-X has been a great line, with great quality and detail for the price point. ![]()

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
Now that I don't build 1/72 aircraft any longer, look at all the neat cars being made that I could have displayed next to them, especially modern subjects. This Subaru looks very nice. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I still can't fathom how we got such beautiful 1/72 cars before we started getting similarly detailed 1/64s. Bigger almost always means more detailed. This is outstanding, but it's too small to fit with the bulk of my collection. Albeit that never stopped me from picking up a 1/72 car. Handy to display next to Matchbox and Tomica full size cars that have been scaled down to 1/76...

Jermaine: Keep 'em coming. You've got great stuff, and I eagerly await seeing it every day! I've never heard of Real-X. But man, that's quality!

Amazing details for 1/72. The color suits this car well. |

Jermaine's pics make these look like 1/1 cars and not scaled down to 72. The red one reposted by Swifty was part of a set that Milezone sold a year or two ago. Real X offers a great product in 1/72. |

The toy manufacturer even has the correct "pleiades" logo on the front. |

I have a box full of Real-X models. I'm not able to remember if I have this one. I probably do, but these outstanding pictures are making me hope I in fact do. Dean |

I too had not heard of Real X models until a collector in Vancouver, BC offered me some as part of a trade we were doing. My wife had just purchased a Subaru Outback sedan and I thought it would be nice to add some miniature Subie's to my collection - the 1/72nd scale really didn't bother me as it fit in with my collecting interests. The Real X models are very nice - especially the police car versions they have offered over the years.
