New info from HPI:
Announcement of Precision Cast Model Car Division Withdrawal
Dear Customer,
First and foremost we would like to thank you for your support over the last 8 years. HPI has decided to withdraw from the Die-cast and Resin model car market. Global factors, including economic downturn and cost increases, have helped create a business atmosphere that is no longer financially lucrative. Our passion kept us driving through the challenges of the global market over the years, but the time has come where we must withdraw from the Die-cast and Resin car market. For this reason, we will not be making any new batches of product and will need to cancel all pre-orders for all un-released product. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please see the attached spreadsheet for all canceled products.
We will still be selling our current inventory while we still have stock. If you are interested in this, please contact me immediately for the best selection. We will still be offering customer service on these products to make sure the experience of these fine products are fully enjoyed.
We hope that you have enjoyed our products and sense our reluctance to move on, as our passion for these model cars is something gained over many years in the business. HPI will focus our efforts going forward on the radio control side of the market.
Sincerely,
December 2013

So get your fill of HPI 1/43 NSX models post haste. They'll be considered some of the best a mass manufacturer has produced.

how did the HPI models compare to the autoart NSX? given they're much smaller, i'm assuming less detail?
The HPI for it's small size has amazing detail. I have only one Autoart and it is the 1:18th 91 formula red NSX. The Autoart has much more detail than any other model that I have seen. It comes with a magnifying glass so you can read the writing on the oem stickers in the engine bay and front spare tire compartment. And on the interior even the buttons and knobs have the writing on them to designate there purpose. How they did that I'm not sure. Sorry it was hard to get good focus on the stickers in the pictures below but trust me with a magnifying glass you can clearly read them.

I ordered this same one from AutoArt (should receive it any day now!!)... and I definitely had interest in changing the wheels and exhaust tips, but didn't know if it was possible.... pretty cool to see that it is!!!
that black model is sweeet! winner winner chicken dinner... sources appreciated!
My brother found this at a farmer's market. It's soap with an NSX inside of it. I'm not sure if it's a soap NSX or a metal one that the soap just distorted. Either way, I've never seen one before.
While I didn't see one specifically, I know he's got at least 25 NSX models in here:

TSM just released their version of NSX 2.0 from the North American Auto Show. Complete with full interior. It's on ebay now and looks pretty good.

Where did you find this? I need to buy this. It's the exact replica of my NSX.

Where the heck have you been, Romeo?
Endless mining of Yahoo Japan auctions. They usually run $300-400 and pop up infrequently. It'd be easier, and probably more fulfilling, to buy an AutoArt example and modify it.
Found one..

Ok.. these are Kyosho ones, which is much easier to replace the wheels than the Autoart ones. From what I have read wheels on autoart diecasts are almost impossible to remove without damaging the diecast.
Also Kyosho ones are no where as nice as the Autoart NSX. http://www.diecastxchange.com/forum...sxkyosho-vs-autoartits-not-even-a-fair-fight/
And per translation, the wheels do not rotate nor steer.
But on the plus side it looks like they lower it.
