1/43 Toyota FT-86 Concept, by 'CAM' - never heard of them!

This is a resin model handmade by KidBox sell only at Japan Market.These miniature models were presented at Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 at the Toyota exhibition.
Webshops to preorder FT86 concept 1/43 miniature model (no overseas shipping, just Japan)
price around 90 USD.The link http://kidbox.co.jp/SHOP/C43001RD.html
I have order it...now just wait for this beautiful beast to arrive...Yippieee!!!!!

I've read somewhere that CAM is sort of Kyosho brand for resin models. Is there any other information on this? They also released recently Isuzu Bellet 1800 concept (in 2 diff. versions and 3 colours each), besides there is another one or two models (I guess Lexus test car or smth?). The Isuzu is available on ebay, most probably the seller could supply the other models worldwidely, too (the seller I am talking about is a fellow member of another model forum..)

Well Craig, looks like the Christmas budget is getting adjusted again!
HPI will of course make it look killer... and do in my wallet I am sure.

I will be joining you. No xmas Turkey on our table , instead the centre piece will be a collection of HPI's

Seriously though if they do keep up the recent momentum of releases , i will be bankrupt by the time i'm 27!

Very mate , very!

I can see HPI introducing an RS200 eventually. May be time to sell up my Uber rare MC White one.

So Spark is releasing this soon. Did they inherit the Redline license or can they do this because it is a Gemballa?
Looks like it will go for 47,99€, which is a great price point for a Ferrari.

Mmmm… HPI RS200… can't wait! I really hope they do since there's quite a dearth of RS200 models out there - especially rally versions.

This is how rumours start

Little interest in the concept, but I look forward to seeing HPI's effort at the production Ford GT. Wonder what colours they'll do - Clarkson's dark blue with white stripes would be nice. GT racer would be nicer still

[CraigyGT]

Douglas , just a guess but judging by HPI's patterns i can see it eventually.

Dave the GT will be relased in the following initially.

Production :

Blue and white stripes ( a la Clarkson )
Red and white stripes

Concept :

Gulf colours
White with Blue stripes
Yellow with Blue stripes.

There will be more Lancia Stratos models too , prototypes this time.

The info i have regarding Mclaren F1's will be :

#39 - 1997
#41 - 1997
#42 - 1997

Hey there's a dude in that one. What the heck Spark?

Found this lovely Ixo '63 Corvette - I missed the first release in silver!

I want to buy it, but can anyone confirm if the blue dashboard is correct?



Cheers, BB

[DeadCanDanceR]

WOW, BB!!!...That black Corvette looks great. But the blue dashboard with red seats look quite strange...

[GBOAC002]

That's a difficult call as in real life GM options lists were popular in the sixties. Back axle ratios, gearboxes and engine specs could be chosen, so interior colours might have been mix and match too. I do agree though that it's a strange combination. Could it have been based on an actual car somewhere or is it the whim of an IXO product planner?

[JSB33]

I have seen probably thousands of Vettes over the years at various car shows and on the street. I have tons of books on Corvettes and I have never seen a blue dash that didn't have the rest of the interior blue.
Possible? I really don't know.
Probable? Not likely.

... can anyone confirm if the blue dashboard is correct?

It was not a factory option.
