I bought the greenish Mk1 and love the attention to detail. I got mine for £60 on fleabay new and I was very happy.
 
Anyone ever had any luck pinning down models yet? Browsing on the tinter earlier and found this place, bit confusing layout of a page, with v little info, but you never know. 1/43 scale models come in at around £70 - not inclusive postage etc. Hi Champs one on Ebay that sells for same - on for £125 :oops:

Have figured out the best way is to paint it all 1st then build it then touch up any bits after or as I go :)

I don't like the Supra....

But the Castrol TOMs Supra just reminds me of Gran Turismo in my childhood and the memories of buying that car from the dealership!

I remember not even having a memory card for the PlayStation so every day after school it was firing it up to start from the beginning again.

It was only YEARS later did I realise the Glanza was on there. I went back and tuned it up and to be fair they were spot on :D

Get about 240BHP out of it and it felt like they stuck a TD04 on it. Remember this was 1998 when this game came out so for them to get the power characteristics on it was brilliant.

Anyway @SKINY that model looks ace ;)
