AutoArt DC5 model

[am03ery]

Hi, sorry if it's the wrong topic, but I've been looking for a 1:18 scale Milano Red DC5 model made by AutoArt, I've found out that these were not made in red and they're also not produced any more. Maybe a long shot, but would it be a good idea to email the company asking if they would be able to produce a certain amount of Integra's in different exterior and interior colours? I know some members would be interested in buying a model of their car, but not sure how many units would have to be made and if it's a good idea. Could possibly be a group buy if there's enough interest?

I was thinking

Championship White with Red interior
Milano Red with Red interior
Artic Blue with Blue interior
Nighthawk Black with Black interior

Thanks, Ameer,

I emailed them a couple of years ago mate and no they wont reproduce, i eventually found them on good ole fleabay

My set now includes CW DC5 - MUGEN DC5 - NB DC5 - Blue DC5 AND COST A BLOODY FORTUNE LOL.

My next quest is 1/18 FD2 the only ones iv'e found are £237 + £39.35 post from Hong Kong which would incur import duty, AutoArt never made them, they are made by Mark Japan. Just cant see me paying that ATM though

If you know someone who is good at modeling see if they could spray one of the others if you can find one that is......CLICKY
Strangely they have only recently introduced the NSX.....Got one of them as well

EDIT - No harm in emailing them again mate, you never know

Wait, how much are these worth? Someone at work got me an Autoart Black DC5 for Secret Santa about 5 years ago, I've never opened it.

If it's 1/18 in black anything up to £150, if it's 1/43 up to£50.

CW and the Mugen edition will always command a higher price

I have a cw but threw the box away!

 

[am03ery]

doesn't look like it's going to happen 😕 they replied saying they don't plan to re produce the DC5 line. If anyone's selling a CW or NHB one for a reasonable price let me know!

Unless it has to be 1/18th, you can get a 1/24 model kit (you'll need to assemble and paint yourself) or a 1/43 model,

those fujimi kits with a bit of research are shite, they dont fit great but more importantly they require PAINTING!!!!

aint nobody got time for that...

and as mentioned before i think 1/43 is too small.

Just ordered a Fujimi kit so I'll let you know how naff the quality is Not done any modelling in years and could do with something different to do at work. Not sure how close I'll be able to get to CW though!

now this i have to see haha!

I too have a Fujimi kit, haven't built it yet but to be honest its actually not that bad and can look very good. The only thing bad about it is the rear splitter is abit wrong but can be modified to fit nicer.

I'll make a thread for it when I start will be a replica of my car.

I've had this saved on my favourites for ages, I know nothing of the company other than it's in the USA, or any info on stock levels or if it's a page not updated for ages! Might be worth an email.

Chiming in abit late, I opted for the Mark43 models as shown above.

As far as I'm aware its the only option for Milano Red.
They also do a FL & PFL.





I also have the Fujimi but I have no plans to build the darn thing, they always turn out sh*t haha.

I've just emailed them asking who makes their models and will they ship to UK.

I'll post findings here, but I'm not hopeful as that site looks very amateur and dated.

I emailed them too, asked them for photos of the blue color and larger photos to see the details.

 

[Lukeyboi89]

He's replied saying they are the auto art ones... But shipping wil be expensive, I will ask him to get a quote and if I do a bulk order will there be a discount
