**Scaled Model Pics Here**
So, I'm looking to buy a scaled model of the RX-8.
The only decent one i can find is the 1/18scale model of the RX-8 from Autoart.
I want something like a hotwheel. Anyone have any pics or places where i can find something like that?
here is the one from auto art.

Do you want one like this?
If you do...your best bet is to get the RX-8 from Jada Toys.....Hot wheels doesn't have any Rx-8 models as of yet. Neither does Maisto...Autoart has the best detail of any model company out there and i only go with Auto art if i want a high detail model of a car in stock form. As far as Rx-8's with a MS kit and rims , go with Jada Toys, they have the best deatil as far as performance parts inside and outside the car.

I've been wanting a black RX8 from autoart for MONTHS, but nobody has the damn things in stock. 60-70 bucks for a model is a lot, but Its a necessary thing because its an exact replica/color of the one sitting in the parking lot with my name on it 
If anyone happens know to a place that has a stock of Black 1:18 scale RX8's PLEASE let me know, email toxin440@gmail.com or pvt me :-p

I'll keep my eyes open, as i frequently visit hobbytown USA. IF you want they have a website to order from. My personal favorite is Diecastfast.com. They have a large selection of model car companies and cars.Here is there website aswell:

I also found a 1/36 model from Kinsmart which turn out to be pretty cheap plastic (and right-hand drive). It was really cheap on e-bay and came with no package (but was in perfect condition otherwise).
I never ponied up the $$$ for the larger metal models. If I had a $100 model on my desk some dimwit would break it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention - the Jada Import Racers are somewhat common at KB Toys too. I found blue and green there.

I have a small collection of diecast cars, not limited to RX-8's. If you want large scale and quality, Autoart is the way to go. I have their 1:18 RX-8 in black and titanium. Autoart also makes 1:43 scale RX-8's in every available color.
They even make a 1:43 Mazdaspeed in silver and dark blue:
You can purchase these directly from Autoart
If you want a tunable RX-8, try Hotworks Racing. It comes stock looking and you can add the Mazdaspeed kit and wheels. It's 1:24 scale (true to scale, not overscaled and cartoony like Jada). They also make an FD.
