寶馬M3 (E30)戰車全集
By admin, December 7, 2015 11:57 am
在芸芸眾多的80年代寶馬M3 (E30)戰車裡面，我至今還是認為紅藍的原廠拉花最為漂亮!
以下是Autoart和Minichamps曾經推出過的1/18廠花版本:

超Cool的70年代日係暴走族!

最近幾個月收了兩台IG的老日系樹脂膠產品，覺得IG的1/18質量和價錢都挺合理。其實IG的前身HPI做工更加不用講!
我的一個香港車模朋友就更加利害，幾乎收齊了全部的IG 1/18車型和顏色，看來已經中毒太深，走不回頭了，哈哈。
另外我很希望IG能夠考慮推出以下這兩台1比18的超Cool 70年代日系暴走族，因為它倆小巧得來很有氣勢!

我身邊為什麼這麼多”損友”，今天又被人放毒箭!
百感交集

好多年前曾經係旺角學校附近間環球模型櫥窗前痴痴地呆看過它…1比16Fujmi出嘅白色法拉利Testarossa Miami Vice單耳版本。想不到今日竟然又係佐敦一間模型老鋪前見到，頓時百感交集…
好鬼80年代!
法拉利工藝超凡的技師們

最近閱讀了這篇精彩的文章獲益匪淺，The Incredible Workshops of Maranello’s Master Craftsmen裡面如實報道了位于意大利法拉利總部附近的幾個家庭小作坊。
也就是這種獨特的父傳子傳統工藝令他們肩負著為全球經典法拉利收藏家修復工作的重擔，幾十年的優良技藝也因此得以傳承下去。
原來Highway 61的SRT8做錯了

昨天偶然看到了這台最近成交的白色HWY61 SRT8，細看物件的內文描述才發現原來有幾個地方做錯了。
所以我之前那台由Performance Year改裝得罕有Hurst Challenger Stage I Series SRT8, 2009 (50759H)也是錯的，因為母體是一樣的。
另外上星期我終於在加拿大一個收藏家手上找到了這台限量500台Highway 61 Challenger裡的Holy Grail: 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 6 pac (50554)
最後我發現無論是1971的Challenger R/T 440 6 pac還是2007年的SRT8，大家除了白色以外，最顯眼的就是那綠色的車牌，因為上面印有同樣的字樣，同是出自1971年Vanishing Point電影裡的 OA-5599 19 COLORADO 70!!!
From Scale18
Prayers of the muscle-car faithful have finally been answered in the release of the new Dodge Challenger R/T’s. The production Challenger is based on the Chrysler LX-platform of the 300C, Magnum, Charger and their SRT8 versions from the Chrysler performance skunkwerks at Auburn Hills, Michigan.
The new Challenger concept was first introduced at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, and was styled after the legendary 1970 model. A production model was announced to ship in early 2008 and dealers immediately were swamped with inquiries. Originally advertised at just $37,995 MSRP, the first production model brought over $400,000 in January 2008 at the famous Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona. Production was limited to just over 6400 cars.
Overall, the exterior design cues remain faithful to the popular concept car, with some alterations. From the egg-crate grille (paying tribute to the original 1970 model), to the front and rear spoilers and satin chrome fuel-filler door the lineage is obvious. The design may appear slightly bulkier then the original, but still proudly outranks anything in its class. Then or now!
The Highway 61 Collectibles Dodge Challenger R/T’s feature all-new tooling in exacting 1:18 scale. Opening doors, hood and trunk are standard. Other features include highly-detailed 5.7 HEMI® engine, automatic transmission and dual exhaust. The 20-inch Heritage Classic or Chrome-Clad wheels are faith fully reproduced, as are the P245/45ZR20 Goodyear tires. A sunroof lights the fully-detailed interior with flip-forward seat backs and realistic seat belts and harnesses.
From eBay Item Description
To pay homage to the great 1971 film, Vanishing Point, Bob Frederick of New Wilmington Dodge, Pennsylvania has created 10 Kowalski Edition Dodge Challengers. Starting with an Inaugural Edition SRT8 (in white of course), the dealership removes the stripe, adds some custom decals and 20-inch Alcoa SRT wheels. On the inside, the seats feature a dark shade and a wood grain Hurst pistol grip shifter, attempting to look as similar as possible to the movie’s 1970 version. And of course, a numbered plaque designates which Kowalski Edition Challenger it is.
Well the good folks at the former highway 61 decided to have one of their new generation challengers constructed as an homage to this “kowalski edition” srt8. But some huge mistakes were made on this model at the factory.
Firstly, as you can see in the photos, the model has both R/T & SRT8 badging. the real car is an SRT8with the 6.1 HEMI engine. but all outer badges on this car indicate R/T, which would only be optioned with the 5.7 HEMI!!! (ie, HEMI is 5.7L).
There are also SRT8 badges on the front seat backs. There is no spoiler, as there should be with an srt8 badge & Kowalski edition logo!!
Although mainly badged as an R/T, the car has the SRT8 optioned 20-inch Alcoa SRT wheels. As well, as you can clearly see, the diecast indicates 6.1 HEMI on the hood, yet this is not present on the real car!! as well, the real Kowalski tribute car has no moonroof & the diecast model does!!
