WHOA, just looked it up. The Uras GT-T is from 2011!!!!! The Type R is from 2020.

The Vertex Chaser is from 2008 with new parts for the re-release (pretty sure the only new parts were the "half bumper" parts.

And the Rojam Crown is from 2015. Can definitely see how much Aoshima improved from 2008. Oddly enough, the 2016 re-release of the Rojam Crown came in a different color mold.

I have a white one. Haha. Was wondering why the back seats looked really odd until I realized it's the whole pull back motor thingy.

That is so cool. My grandson got a decent 3 d printer so I am just biding my time while he works through the learning curve

I'm considering ordering this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HW1SDVD

It looks pretty cool. Apparently the engine actually moves if you move the car, and the doors open up along with a way to actually change the steering direction.

We got that for my young grandson for Christmas. It is really pretty cool.

I have two firestorm ones, complete with the upside down Scion logo. There was a period where many of us were on the hunt for them at various places.

Pretty impressive that it only took the guy two weeks to design it. Thus sure looks like the future of modeling at some point. I'd buy the files for that one.

My son has a filament based one that he uses to print D&D characters that were designed by others. Huge library of those available.

I need to find an excuse to use it.

You know an odd place to find pull back models? Grocery stores. I've seen the last generation Celina, R35, Mustangs, and even the Initial D AE86. LOL.

OK so the O2 tanks, plumbing and dropped starboard flap all corrected to the new picture.
Now as long as I don't suddenly find ANOTHER picture!

I like it.. a bit of artistic expression... Brilliant!! Don't forget to install the aerial before it leaves your shores!! Plan B: Your "in-country support team" can improvise on your behalf, whittle down a toothpick to fit!!
