Where did you get those numbers from? I thought stock Deloreans were doggedly slow:

I figured that much, but what anime series (and spaceship) is it? Looks very cool!

You mean the Art Asylum models? Already seen them at Toys'R'Us.

I got the # from some maniac fan's homepage.
The space ship is from Gundam 0083 I got it from Toys R us. I think Bandai is the maker of the Star trek models.. sigh. I used to hate the heavy plastic parts and bad fitting of the AMT star trek models

So, I went to WalMart last night and purchased 2 of them. One red. One black.
Man, did I have to dig deep on that shelf, all the way to the back wall to find a red one. Maybe someone was hiding it. Heh heh, but I got it!

I was also thinking about buying more of them to spray paint with different colors. But when I inspected the car, there are just too much detailed parts that I'm afraid I'd mask over with paint.

If someone has painted their NSX, post pics and tell us how you did it. I don't think masking tape will be sufficient in protecting the small parts.

You have to disassemble the car, take off inner ( plasic chasis and even the door , trunk panels strip the inner plastic panels off

then to paint them ( metal shell ) together but in seperate pieces

ya the Albion.. we used to call it " G-Phantom" backk then

After checking all the stores near me, I FINALLY found these die-casts at a Walmart in the far west valley. Check out my "fleet"

Am I crazy or what

(Actually these are all spoken for, as gifts or paint projects.)

By the way wctsao, your tip about waxing is right on; the toy definitely looks better with a coat of Zymol!
