Sorry. Another 1/18: Ignition Model IG2223 Datsun Bluebird (510) Wagon Light Blue With Surfboard

I don't typically buy 1/18 scale models, but OMG, lowered 510 wagon with surfboard has that Toriyama Akira goodness you just can't resist....

It took approximately 8 days for it to arrive from Hong Kong.  So fast.  

 

This is my first IG 1/18 scale, also my first IG vintage car model.  While I have some 1/64 cars from IG, they are all newer vehicles like R35, RX-7, etc.  I do have Hakosuka I already paid for at amiami, but shipping from Japan's still very strained, and despite their efforts, it's been taking them months to get cars over to me.  

I've always admired IG's vintage JDM cars & they certainly didn't disappoint!  :)

X4 ignition model Pandem R35 GT-R + HobbyJapan Honda Integra Type-R(Championship White)

I only know their 1/64 line, but ignition model never ceases to amaze.  So much quality in such a tiny scale.  I have four colors to share with you guys today:

Green Metallic

White

Red Metallic

My favorite: Matte Gray

This one tagged along: HobbyJapan Integra Type-R

Hard to see in this pic, but the wheels are all white.  I wish they painted between spokes black considering the price point($20+).

PART TWO: Ignition Model 1/64 Pandem R35 GT-R Gun Metallic

Here's Part 2 with lot less pics, featuring the black/gun metallic.

One of the best looking, if not the best mesh wheels I've seen in 1/64, but it still doesn't look quite right.  I think it's the 3D shape that's hard to achieve, because the mesh looks flat?  It's not the same style rims, but Enif has impressed me before.  

Frigging amazing.  Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming:

Cool rollbars.

 

Pretty cars.  My hats off to IG.
