I actually want the Aoshima Uras R34 Type R, but since it's just been re releases, I'm sure it will have the usual issues.

From what I've heard, the Uras R34 kits are not perfect, but not horrible either. To be honest, getting things to fit just the way you want, that's just apart of the hobby. Even Tamiya have poor fitting kits, like their R32s. |

I don't mind fiddling a little (cuz for all I know, that could be my lack of skills ). Luckily for me, I didn't have a bad wheelbase issue with the Rojam Crown as I've rear some people having non matching chassis to body wheelbases on the regular Crown kit (and the Mine's R34). I didn't appreciate the whole moonroof issue I had with it tho (the main window part not matching up with the optional cut out area). I think the non "Type R" Uras is a newer tooling, but I can't stand the wide body design of it compared to the "Type R" body. |

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'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.

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.

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.
