Finally 1/43 SVX Model coming out!!

Hi guys!

Wow it has been a while to speak out here. Well I gotta spread this news to everyone here.

Finally finally and FINALLY a SVX model you can buy and put it on on your desktop is coming out! I got this news from my SVX friend in Japan, he found this picture in "Model Car Magazine". It is a Japanese magazine, you may found it difficult to find unless it's Japanese bookstore. Anyway, here's the visual. Sorry for large image.. wanted to show details..



Some of you might know the French die-cast model brand "Norev". They are the one who is developping the model now. It will make an official debut at the Shizuoka hobby show in Japan. Not sure about the pricing. Hope it's affordable....

Anyway, I can't wait. I will follow-up with updates as much as I can.

-Ryu

This one looks more like it'd be at home in a soap dish

1/43 is the size of a hot wheel.....

I'd like a 1/24 or 1/18 version.....

But anything is better than nothing...

Hmm... seems like there are a few of us that haven't put them together yet. I started working on mine, but then ran into problems with having a drill bit small enough for the wheel attatchments, the "window" painting and fitment, and how to shave the metal body just right... i think you have to use some filler to smooth out some areas.

Ron (admiring Ivory mica paint job).

That's most likely 3x plaster model. They are revising the shape, detail at 3x scale of the final product. That 3x scale plaster model is usually used for tooling pattern. It's very similar to what I do everyday for my work.

It should look like a real car when they sell....

Yeah I probably know which one you talking about. Zinc body one, right?
I also know the other 1/43 SVX model which was produced by the individual.
You can see both in here.

But this Norev one doesn't require any assembly! Just buy and display! It's that easy!

HWs usually makes 3 inch cars which is like 1/64. but since they are generics, they don't put scale on the chassis. 1/43 scale is actually very good size for collection so you might like it.

I have 1/24 scale SVX...you can check those out in my locker.
http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?SubaRyu|19339

This one kit was produced while ago from Studio 27. Resin cast. very crude model, and I had to spent all my winter break...

Yeah still wondering who is going to make 1/18 scale SVX.... I like to have one.
