Is there a list of older models?
There were pics on another site but they are now lost with photobucket

best bet is google search images etc

I have about 60 aoshimas aprox
At a rough guess aprox 25+ castings with color variations ( some of the cars come in 4 or more colors , I am happy with 3 or less depending on the car :rolleyes: )
I would say I am missing aprox 5 castings + or - ? with there color variations
Some of the older Aoshimas are quite pricey

Nice introduction and start to Aoshima!

Yeah, there was a photo list over on Hobby Talk, but like carsdownunder mentioned, most of the photos are now MIA. A few of mine are still up though.

Don't know how many Aoshima I have. Sets were hard to get and pricey, so I didn't bother with getting all of them. I probably have a few dozen though.

My take on Aoshima is they are on par with upper end Tomica, Kyosho, and CMs. What sets them apart is the subject matter...most of the models they make tend to be the customized style. I believe Tamiya also had a few 1/64ish scale diecast.

If anyone would like to put together a model list, it would be welcome in the database. I only have two models and little familiarity with the brand, so help would be needed.
