Expensive, but cool Die Cast GT-86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Kimsey47 · 10-30-2013, 01:10 PM

Was browsing Ebay for a diecast BRZ model and I had a 1:18 GT-86 model caught my eye. I went to the company's website to see if they offered a BRZ but sadly they didn't...

Anyway I figured I'd share the link to the site incase anyone wanted what appears to be a super cool diecast. Pricey yes, but if you're like me and plan on keeping the car for life then it may be worth it...

Want on in white, please.

Auto art makes good quality models. They are expensive but usually appreciate in value unlike real cars.

This is on my list. I like collecting models of cars I own or would like to own.

It's cute though.

Awesome, thanks for that link and write up! Very appreciated!

Wow I agree real looking and excellent attention to detail. Yes the steering Wheel being on the other side is different.
Thanks for the link. I just might consider it; sure wish the wheel was on our side of the car though

I asked and they are going to be making a few RHD models: We are going to produce these two colors : 78777 1/18 SCION FR-S (NORTH AMERICAN VERSION/LHD)(BLACK SILICA) 78778 1/18 SCION FR-S (NORTH AMERICAN VERSION/LHD)(SILVER METALLIC) Regards, AA Collection Ltd

I dont think that is expensive at all, for the amount of detail put into such a small model like that.
