Default 350 Z diecast models

does anyone make models of our car that are of a decent quality and in the different stock colors? i have seen a few cheapo models at stores at the beach, but they are always really cheap looking and they are always blue.

I college these diecast cars and working on a glass shelf to display them on.
I have mostly cheaper ones, but I think they are cool.
Got a silverstone Z track edition, off brand

I've got one... pretty cool and well made, but the proportions aren't perfect so if your extremely picky it can be annoying. Got mine for like $50 off ebay. Ehhh, not that great of a price but it was worth it for the cool factor.

Got mine from Costco during the Christams season for $19 if I remember correctly. A CS and a SS.

I got a 1:18 made by Maisto. I think I ordered it from Diecast Direct. Its gray and a model of the 03 I believe. The model proportions are not perfect but close enough to my 06 coupe. I've seen the same model at the Nissan dealership but don't know what they area charging.

I would love one like that just with the orange/black mesh seats. Any links to one like that?

03-06 models are easy to find. I been looking for a 07+ model for about a year now (ever since I got the car ).

I doubt they'll ever produce 07+ model, with an exception to Nismo Z.
Hell, no company even produced 06 refreshed model except ebbro with their 1:43 scale.
I'm hoping Autoart will release Amuse 380RS Super Leggera model in near future

Nothing beats a Kyosho model... I've got a Kyosho NSX and it's exactly like the real thing. I also have a Maisto 350Z and it's alright, but nothing crazy.

Yeah...Kyosho & AutoArt are probably the top 2 best mftgs. of Z cars.
Excellent in detail. BTW AutoArt is the only diecast that has the antenna on the 350Z model.

They don't make the silver with the orange seats....what you have to do is buy the 1/18 LeMans ZR which has the orange seats & have a pro model paint guy paint the car silver.

Would anyone want to trade an AutoArt 1/18 scale model Roadster with only black seats for my LeMan's Roadster w/orange/black seats?

I'm trying to duplicate my SB ZR. Since no company makes a SB roadster w/black seats.

here's my for trade....must be in mint condition...
