A9x Brock

[brad]

what do you guys think of this one..
http://www.biante.com.au/product_19801.htm

normally i only do 1/18's but i can't find any of this in a errr price range i'd pay :PO

[Damage]

Its a nice 1/43, go for it.

[Thunder]

At 1/10th of the price of a 1:18, you cant go wrong. It all comes down to - the 1:18 has far more detail, with opening doors, boot, bonnet and detailed engine bay. Also the signed coa by Peter Brock. I guess you also have to consider the fact that if you have all 1:18 scale models, is the 1:43 going to look out of place?

[brad]

probably would look out of place - that's why i'm not sure whether it's worth it... could have a crack at an a9x code 3.... but i haven;t finished my VT yet so...

Just leave it in its case and put it somewhere it can never look out of place its a 1:43 scale model of 1 of the most iconic road based touring cars to ever hit a race track..

mmm we'll see. I'm kind of thinking maybe CC will do one in the future.. they did the VK?

[Thunder]

I guess, if CC do the A9X in the 1:18 scale in the future "Great". If they don't, the Brock Biante models are not going to get cheaper. If you are prepared to take the risk and wait, but keep in mind that if it is not reproduced then the A9X could cost you alot more.

It is a wonderfull and very sharp model indeed in 1/43 scale!
Will not dissapoint!

[sleepy]

Just my own personal opinion but i think the biante, autoart 1;43 models appear to be a more accurate representation of the real thing than the cc ones... not trying to start anything mind you...

Well done Biante, it is a wonderfull series.

[pitcrew]

Spot on there. The 43rd series are top quality and only getting better.

[HDT337]

Yep, gotta agree, the 1/43 Biante cars are exeptional in detail and quality, I think they are better than the Classics cars ....at the moment.

I know i've asked this question before but have searched the forums and can't find it..... the 79 brock torana won by 6 laps and broke the lap record on the last lap correct?

[Road Runner 72]

The side ones look a bit small to me too

[Road Runner 72]

Parts of it was covered in the Brock VK thread & parts in the ebay threads as some were selling them with the decals, also word of mouth. just not in the mood for another debat about decals, Im just happy if I can get a set that looks good to me ;)

Yours look okay & even better as you done them yourself so some self praise.

Cheers

I compared the decals on my 1:18 scale and these ones look pretty good Damage. By the way I'm in need of some :D :2thumbsup:

Bring on the 79 car. I can't wait.
Personally I think the timing is perfect to start a 1/43 Brock collection because there are so many cars of his just around the corner that were only available from Dinkums and way over priced. Plus the older Targa and Nations Cup models are still reasonably priced.

You just wanted an excuse to post the picture. Cant blame you though.

yep:o

[the_goldie]

Was thinking about doing that BB, as I have all Brocks cars in 1/18 so far and thought having them in 1/43 would be pretty nice to have as well.... Still have not started it though.

Don't, as it'll never stop. There are far more Brock Cars available in 1:43rd.:eek:

I know, as I have the addiction to Diecast:o

[HDT337]

I cant see the Volvo.

Also getting hard to find it now.

spolyhronidis, I had it sitting here for a while & finally decided to watch it today. I enjoyed it & the little talk they have about the car in the extras is very good. Moffat has some fun looking over the car & stirring up Harve's & Sheppard. ;)
