Has anyone seen or know where one can get a copy of a 2005 Acura RL Diecast or resin model preferably in 1:18 scale? Am trying to build a collection of model cars representing the real ones I've owned...

 

there were some Legends on eBay.

 

I actually have one. I'll take a pic when I get home I forget the company that makes them also. Honda Gave some out in Japan at time of launch. Yes this post is useless, I know haha

 

Yes, PLEASE post a picture of your model! If you can find the name of the company that made them that would be helpful also. Is it 1:18th scale? I appreciate your post so I take exception to you categorizing it as "useless"

 

Ebro is the make. There is one or 2 floating around on Ebay but they are over priced. I got mine for about $80. This you can find easily an in many colours. Honda released a Chrome diecast, not sure who made it although it looks very similar. There was another company I believe who made a diecast but I have only seen it ever once and I cannot remember the brand. All I've seen is the Legend, not the RL. Its ratio is 1/43. Here are a couple shots.

 

If you have a 3D printer, Honda released the data files to print quite a few of their models, and I'm pretty sure the RL was in there.

 

Thanks ChocBoyWonder I much appreciate the photos. It looks good for 1:43 model. I'm going to look around to see if I can find a copy and hopefully maybe even a 1:18 scale one. Again thanks...

 

So, where could one obtain such data files?

 

I misremembered the models they released. It was concepts.

Let me know if you find anything. I'd be interested also

 

Will do! I'm trying to build a diecast collection of all the cars I've ever owned for my grandson...

 

Just saw this on eBay...

Yikes! 200 big ones! For that kind of money, I should be able to drive it to Carmax and get a quote on it.

Yep, grossly overpriced for the size and product quality - but I'm very appreciative of NathanJax making me (us) aware of its availability...

 

Paudi (Chinese company) do 1/18 Acura models in superb detail. I have one.










I've searched, but they are all sold out. Keep looking, as one may come up.

 

Thanks Blues Legend. What is Paudi's URL? Is that white Legend in your picture the 1:18 scale model you alluded to and if so, how much was it?

 

Yes, yes, and it's lakeshore silver but I am a shite photographer.

Try googling it as I did. You'll find plenty of TLXs and stuff but it looks like RLs are all sold out. RLX anyone

I got the Paudi 1:18 on eBay awhile ago. Not sure they have any left, but I just ordered the 1:18 RLX, this time in the same color as my RLX (though not a Sport Hybrid).
