Call me CRAZY...but I had to do it...a 'Mini-Me' 3G TL twin.
so... in keeping with tradition of how many 3G TLs I have gone through ... (5 to be exact)...I thought I would 'duplicate' my efforts on the model kit too lol.
I already have the ASM 1:18 diecast that I purchased back in 2007...but managed to snag possibly the LAST one ever to be available in most likely the world...unless someone decides to sell theirs???
I emailed the original ebay seller and asked them to search high and low for one more 3G model so I could snag it...they looked and looked and looked and managed to find one .
this one is carbon gray... I've owned both real life ASM and CGP before so its dedicated to those lol.
anyways, was a bit pricey but the way I see it... I have no intention of spending on my 'real life' TL-S..so why not buy some cool stuff??
I will keep this one in the box and store it away till its worth $1000 on ebay lol.
Here's my current ASM 1:18:

...and here is the new one (last of its kind)... er...cost me $192 cdn:

Sweet! I haven't gone insane enough to advance to 1:18 scale models. I'm still on 1:64 hot wheels. Picked up a few concept nsx and pagani huayras this past weekend!

yah I haven't received the CGP one yet but will post side by side shots later.... as for the resell value of $1000...(sarcasm)... I doubt i'd ever sell these... as they will in time be pretty rare. I'm still kicking myself for selling off my 1:43 ebbro TSX/euro accord models for cheap.
interior wise..if u haven't had a chance to check these out, you would be blown away.. .fully carpeted, leather feel seats, navi.. the whole works but its a 5AT ...![Racing](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/racing.gif)
next on the list/ same scale:
2013 RDX / MDX and RL.

thats pretty cool I like it when model cars come exactly how they are in real life just smaller. all the details are incredible on what they do

That is pretty cool... but the fact that its out of the original box makes it so it will never be worth 1000.00. But I guess its worth the highest amount someone is willing to pay. Id rather put the money into something useful!

^^^ that is not an accurate model....
06 does not have indicators on the mirror
headlights are wrong
front grille is wrong
wheels are wrong...they are 05 rather than 06
if its a type S, the wheels are wrong....

It looks like they used a mixed bag of parts. Given its a chinese model of the car, they probably copied what they had locally.

Lol we've discussed this before...these models are the CDM versions. 100%. And the detail level is high enough for me to justify the insanity of buying at about $150 a pop.
