[Diecast/Models] Group C & IMSA GTP 1/43 Models

[24_heures]

Anyone got any suggestions as to where the best places (on the web or elsewhere) are to get hold of Group C and IMSA GTP models?

There are a lot on eBay but they're nearly all Porsche 962s! It would be nice to have something a bit different.

[JAG]

Ebbro make the Nissan Group C and IMSA GTP cars.

IXO Jaguar XJR-9/12

Spark XJR-5

IXO Peugeot 905

IXO Toyota TS010

Minichamps Mercedes C9/C11/C291

Minichamps 956/962

Spark WM Peugeot

Spark Dome

IXO Rondeau

IXO Nissan R89C


If you have the cash i would advise checking out the Exoto 1/18 scale Sauber Mercedes C9's. They truly are a work of art. I have the Michelin German SuperCup, 1988 WSC AEG car and the 1987 Kourus car.

Exoto will also be releasing the Porsche 956/962, Sauber Mercedes C11/C291, Aston Martin AMR1 and the Jaguar XJR-9/12.

AutoArt will be releasing the Mazda 787B in 1/18 scale soon.


check out www.modelissimo.de for a good selection and prices.

Thx JAG.
Don't think my wallet will stretch to an Exoto collection, but they do look stunning.

If you were in Le Mans last week, you could have bought 5 IXO's cars for 50 euro's on the Sunday, I purchased a Jag, Mazda, Toyota and more modern Audi team Goh R8 and Dodge Viper for the nephew, well worth the money.

I was there, but didn't spot such a bargain.
You've done v. well there!!

[Aysedasi]

Nor did I!!!!!!!

I didn't see any 1:43 for less than 28 euros (with a layer of dust on them hal;f an inch thick). The decent 1:43s that I saw were retailing for 40 euros. I was staggered by the models of last years Pesca cars in his new shop in the village - 58 euros each????????

Are but those were the special edition from the Le Mans 1000K were they not? A limited run of only 349 is what put the price up on those (plus the cost of a pitch at Le Mans I guess). There were certainly two or three stalls selling off Ixo 1/43rd Le Mans cars for 20 Euro each, 50 for 3, maybe even cheaper come 4pm Sunday. Anyone going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed should be able to sniff out a bargain or two.

The stalls selling 5 for 50 euros were doing it just after the race had finished (or by the time it took us to walk down the track from the Dunlop bridge to the tribunes). There was one stall behind the tribunes and one in the square in the village, both run by a Brit company.
They had them for sale until this time at 3 for 50 euros.

That's still an awful lot of cash for a 1:43, Mike. I'd want it gold-plated for that.......

MA Models has a whole bunch of IMSA cars - either kit or built. I have a Toyota MkIII 1993 kit - quality is ok, a bit below Starter or Provence, but not bad for the price (about $45 for a kit).

[JAG]

I think Spark will make most of the IMSA GTP cars in time.

[PorscheFanNo1]

So when will Spark start making them in 1:18?

[JAG]

This is the new HPI Sauber Mercedes C9.

The best 1/43rd mass produced model I have I have yet seen!

You need not have - Trax was selling built PM versions 6 years ago.

hello

This thread been around a while but just to update it a bit I've recently discovered www.rcsmodels.co.uk who stock a whole bunch of stuff including the new HPi Group C models in 1/43 scale at very good prices. I was very pleased to pick up the 1982 Le Mans winning Porsche 956 from them and then purchased "Rothmans" decals from www.modelworks.co.uk to finish it off properly.

Yes, but about £80+.

I've picked up the Spark XJR-14 and similar Mazda MXR-01 for £50.
