Some of you might have seen this already, but FYI, in case you haven't. New upcoming summer releases from Aoshima.

HLJ has these available for pre-order. I received an email from a hobby store in Tokyo about these releases as well. Aoshima doesn't have these listed on their site yet, so no pics or details are available at this time.

Aoshima is on fire lately

Aoshima makes very decent kits, sometimes on par with Tamiya, usually close. Good for them for pumping out kits left and right. Not much that they make is really appealing to me, but with as much as they make (new toolings, even!), there's alway hope.

thank god for the ER34

OMG! "D1 Blitz R34 4 Door (04 & 05 versions)" finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :icon16:

Wow, a bonus too being 04 AND 05 versions. Both are so badass.

I've already pre-ordered the ER34 =)

Pre-ordering those Skylines as we speak :).

btw... what's the difference between the '04 and '05 D1 Blitz R34 4 Door?

Probably just the decals. That is the way it was with the Apex RX-7, and the Kei Office S15, so I'm sure that's what it will be with these and the '05 Kunnyz Chaser.

Pretty much just added some red and some sponsor changes. I also cant wait till the new batch of models comes out.

Surprised there is no Top Secret S15

there is. I was told by a shop in hong kong that they are waiting for a release date from aoshima for it and the hks hyper s15


actually, make that a Maybe! i can't find the email to verify it and they could be wrong.

Damn it, I HAD to order the '05 4-door Skyline.

Finally :worshippy :eek2: FINALLY!!!!!!!! Nomuken's car.

Well not actually a kit, but I thought you folks might like to see it. It is a D1 car. ;)

It's a Diecats model or what??! It's beautyful... :Eek2:

It's a Diecats model or what??! It's beautyful...

It is diecast, but it is not a model. It's just a diecast replica, with adjustable suspension (height/camber).

Oh man!!! It's a damn beauty. What brand make it??

It is made by Hot Works Racing.

Some updates on the new releases.

Fabulous Zero Crown Royal comes with 20" Fabulous Genesis
'05 Kunnyz Chaser comes with 18" Work Emotion CR-Kai's and new '05 decals
4 new 20" VIP wheels to be released: Loenhardritt Orden, Bersaglio Spoke IIIMF, Fabulous Genesis, and Kranze Bazreia
ER34 will have a complete race interior (finally). Not sure about wheels.

A pair of new Chiki Chiki models will sport new 14" Shadow spoke wheels with stretchwall tires.

The Veilside Supras are looking more and more like new models, as they are listed as 1/24 by Aoshima. Not definitive, but at least more promising. Still strange why they wouldn't release a standard Supra first.

The Kranze Bazreia just came out and 1/24 scale wheels just a few months away. Good things as they seem to be keeping in touch with the latest VIP style offerings.

Aoshima is really putting a strain on my budget. I've been wanting to scale down my model spending (since I've got too much piled up), but they just keep putting out more and more things I have to buy. I guess I'm going to have to sell off a bunch of stuff.
