All of the Lamborghini's are Kyosho. The Range Rover is Schuco Jr.'s version of the Malibu casting, the Woody is Hot Wheels 100% and the blue flatbed is Maisto. |

Oops, the orange Aventador is from Colourful Model (CM), prior to them actually being called CM and were still referenced as Kyosho OEM.

Obviously ramp extenders. That are a mile long. Great looking stuff. Seeing as the post was from you, it was exactly what I expected. Those OEM/CM cars are truly stunning and easily a cut above Kyosho. Does GL also use that Range Rover casting? Man I want that. |

They did once. It was an early Motor World car in red. It's a fantastic model and easily as nice as any Kyosho with the only exception being printed on headlights instead of plastic lenses. I sure wish Greenlight still had access to those Malibu castings, the Motor World line could use a little more variety these days. |

Nice! How about a "Pony" trailer? I think I'm going to have to get one of the trailers after all... but no sign of them locally yet. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what are the red and black "jeeps" and did they come with tow hitches or did you add them? |

Michael, those are Lamborghini LM002's. They were an SUV from the late 80's and had the same engine as a Countach. I'm sure you're familiar with the Tomica Lamborghini Cheetah, that was designed to compete for military contracts and when it didn't pan out they developed it further into the civilian model. |

Nice group of diecast. The trailers look good. I've still only seen them here. Nothing in stores that I've seen here. |

Thanks Ben! That clears things up. Yep, well aware of the Cheetah. So did those Lamborghini LM002s come with hitches, or did you add them? Because they sure seem to fit just right. Same goes for the HW Woodie. |

No, they don't actually have hitches on them, nor does the range rover. I just backed them up right against the trailers to make it look like they were towing but they aren't actually connected. The HW Woodie did come with the hitch and trailer, and was originally pulling a vintage open wheel Indy racer. |

I think the CM cars are the best looking die cast made.The blue Murcielago is a lovely shade of blue but the red seat looks funny to me

Ben, your Silhouette is making me anticipate mine even more! I hope to have a Kyosho Lamborghini collection like yours some day, but I think I'll get a Porsche first.

I would definitely agree with that. The Huayra in particular is my favorite, it's absolutely perfect in detail and execution. |

Joe, here are some more pictures of the blue Murcielago. I can't remember if this particular one was a Lamborghini dealer model or one of the models done for Post Hobby, but while technically not a Kyosho Beads car, it's the same level of detail as the Beads models and much nicer than the regular Kyosho series cars. And it was actually the least expensive Kyosho I ever purchased, I got it for $5 shipped as there were no other bidders. A word of warning as you start expanding your Kyosho collection, be extra careful when dusting them. The passenger side mirror fell off when dusting it and I haven't had a chance to glue it back.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
