Size don't matter!
Comparative between a 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille by Auto World
& a 1955 BMW Isetta by Kyosho.
Sweet car. Love the size comparison! Isetta is very cool, but I rarely see them outside eBay, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteYou're damn right for the Isetta !
DeletePresently, eBay is my only chance to find any Kyoshos (thank you Japan Booster ^^).
By chance, we will have soon some Kyoshos in France, under Solido licence, an old French diecast brand from the 30's, specialized on 1/43 !!!
AT LAST !!!
(By the way, sorry for my English, I may make some mistakes of language...)
That's really good news. No such luck on Kyoshos in the U.S., but there are plenty of Mattel cars(hot wheels, matchbox), Greenlight, M2, etc. All the Japanese stuff, I get from AmiAmi, Japan Booster, and sometimes from Playmoya, or Amazon. I am looking forward to your future posts! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I understand your English perfectly.
