Thought all you NSX scale model collectors, of which I'm one, would be interested to see this.

Great write up as well.

like every other plastic model kit out there you can build as you like... alas a dying skill in the modern world of ready made 1/18th metal models and people wanting their models 'now' rather than actually taking time to hone their skills and build it!

Thanks for that, as an avid Daily Star reader I don't normally get past the ginormous pair of headlamps they usually feature, but well done all the same.

Like it but there's something not quite right about it.

There's a German (I think) guy over at PH who does personalised car model builds. Don't think they're cheap, but I'd love an NSX done properly. see here:

Compared to to his work everything is wrong with the Daily Star article.

WOW!!! They are amazing, the attention to detail, incredible, when you consider he takes apart an already fine Autoart model and then improves on it in every department as well as personalising it for your car.

I'm got to try and get a price for him to do me a custom Autoart NA1 with wheel arch and under car lighting installed.:)

At last a good quality model company out there has decided to make in 1/18 scale the 1994 and GT2 winning 1995 Le Mans NSX.
