Drift King's AE86 Diecast
I collect diecast models of my favorite cars so I'm always looking to see what car I should add next. These 1/43 Ignition Models are highly detailed resin models that are pretty high in price.
This one especially (You can find this particular scale model on sale on eBay for around $500). Below are pictures of a signed Keiichi Tsuchiya Ignition scale model of his famous white and green 86: I definitely won't be buying this one (because $500) but I thought this was cool and wanted to share. Btw, the wheels on Ignition Model diecasts don't roll. |

That's why I'm making my own in 1/18
That's a custom front bumper and machined all metal deep dish wheels. Gonna get lowered and I'll probably slap some Nitto decals on the tires. The engine is gonna look like this |

Sweet. I don't have the patience to do any of that stuff so I think that's awesome.

By the way, $500 is just a vastly inflated ebay price. Their 1:43 models retail for around $120-150 and the 1:18 models go for $200-250. Check actual model car retailers.
