RX-8 Models

I just bought the RX-8 Transformer (Meister) and now I want some more models. The bigger the better really. Does anyone know where I could find some?

AUTOart makes some really nice, high quality RX-8 models. I have the 1:18 and the 1:43. The 1:18 has all opening parts. You can find these on eBay also.

You want the Japanese Takara versions, they're diecast metal. The cheaper American Hasbro Alternators are only plastic.

Detailed interiors, down to the rear seats!

I love the diecast models. I think I'm going to have to buy a black one.

when I was in japan I bought the 3 different transformers: normal red, normal white and the MS purple-ish one.. all die cast, pretty detailed. I also bought a model that was a bare-stock 8 that came with basically every MS part to put on it... spoiler, mirrors, exhaust, stearing wheel, shifter, seats, wheels, brakes sway bars, and that's all the parts I can think of... you could also adjust the camber and height of the suspension... toys are so much fun lol

The 8 that you can modify is made by Hotworks Racing. They make it in blue and silver. They make some really cool modifiable FDs too. They are 1:24 scale.

Here's an eBay link!
