The first link marked as a Cima, the white car, is actually a Toyota Crown, don't know if it's the Crown Royal ( I'll drink to that) or the Athlete. The black car, second link, is correct for a Cima.

Let's see....

Both Silvias don't have the wheels everyone was hoping for. Big bummer!! The kits look cool, though. I with many others were hoping for the Advan wheels. =(

The Chaser looks correct.

The Top Secret better NOT be the way it's shown in the pic. The pic is a regular body R34 GT-R. I hope the wheels come two-tone. What a huge let down if the Top Secret bodykit isn't produced. I'm sure the decals will be in the kit.

The Z looks cool.....


Thanks for sharing blubaja.

Really impressed with the look of the Top Secret R34 GTR, but where are the decals for it! Im not too happy with the HKS Silvia since it doesn't come with the super advans The Pan Speed RX7 is just a normal CWest kit with different decals. The Chaser has some not too good looking rims in my honest opinion. For all those D1 cars i think the Kei Office one is the best looking one so far. If they place the Super Advans with polished lips on the HKS Silvia then that one will get my definite vote or atleast put ANY Deep Dish rims on it! The R32 4 Door looks awesome! ( http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS03480 )

Aoshima has some nice things coming!

The JGTC 350z is just what i expected. Very nice! But too much work for me.

That's old news. And if you think the car is crazy, look again at the price of the kit.

Don't like Work Rezax II? I love those rims....

Thanks for that! I love the Cima and the Crown!

The price is what I was referring to

[Vric]

The Z look fine, but with the diecast, no glue, no paint, I see no point of buying that crap

[willimo]

Those D1 cars are decal heaven! I might have to get the Silvia just to enjoy putting together! And too bad about Tamiya's materials choice, it'd've been a sure buy for me otherwise. Think they'll release it all plastic and unfinished later?

I meant the model rims. In real life those rims are very nice. The one's on the model seem a bit thick and small. Also the Chrome looks cheap for some odd reason. Maybe its the picture. With that really bright flash

[AsongKar]

except the GTR....those models looks very squarish to me...seem like alot of work have to be done to them....but overall...THANK YOU AOSHIMA!

As far as I know the 350Z will just have a diecast chassis. I could be wrong.

That's what I heard as well. I don't take HLJ's descriptions as gospel. I mean, c'mon...the Bomex RX-7 by Aoshima w/the proper "sleek lights" (clear covers vs. retractable) is described as Three Kreit. Imagine someone w/poor english skills saying "sleek light" as "three kreit". And putting it as a title on their website.

Let Tamiya do their job. The Z will be gorgeous. No matter what it's described as at HLJ.
