You can get them at Japanese toy stores...
Or try www.ioveracing.com
they have some ricer hotwheels too...
Or just order direct for Tamiya and the other ones like Revall.

I bought these at http://www.hlj.com about two years ago. Waited about two-three weeks for shipping from Japan. The Tamiya made one's were about $11-$18 US plus shipping.

And yes, I also have an Skyline R34 GT-R V-Spec at school...haven't had a chance to build that one yet. These were the ones that are sitting at home.

I was about to say...

chikai, I have the same camera. Photographing models requires both macro mode and forced flash (assuming you can't get good front-top lighting). You might also want to manually adjust the white balance, since the yellowish tint suggests you're shooting in incandescent light. A tripod also helps. Manual focus helps even more, but we don't have that.



Just had to throw that in. :P
