Die Cast 1:18 G37 available
 
There is a very nice die cast G37 made by Paudi Models reviewed on
.

I contacted the Chinese manufacturer through eBay and was put in touch with a U.S. distributor, located in California.

I ordered the model last week and received it today. It is gorgeous. The detail is amazing. While the seller describes it as "blue," it is charcoal gray, as seen in the video (there may a blue tint, deep down). The grill is silver, not the color of the body.

The video accurately describes and displays the model. It's expensive, but damn, it looks good.

Edit: I got out my glossy '08 Infiniti G Coupe brochure with its color chart. The model is very close to Blue Slate when observed in strong lighting. Dark gray or Blue Slate, it's great. The carpeted floor of the trunk lifts out, revealing the spare tire.

Guess I'll be the first to add the common theme here on MYG37.com ....... "Needs a drop".

They forgot the seat bubble, but other wise amazing detail, especially the engine bay.

i really want it but its too expensive

If you can afford the real thing...

You know, the headlights could be painted black, as long as you baked and sealed them well afterwards.

If the vendor's count is legit, there are not very many of these to go around. All you modders should pass, leaving them for those of us who run stock. :eek:

Edit: I think the count is legit. When I ordered there were 21 available, yesterday the count was 19, and today it is 18.

I expected the price to be higher, given the detail work.

After watching that video , I'm really looking considering buying one now , it's pretty cool, I didn't think it was worth the money but it seems to me it's a quality piece

Red, schemd...

It's not my platinum graphite either. And, it's an automatic G37S, not a 6MT, like mine. But damn, it has paddle shifters and stalks on the steering column! I've never had a replica that so closely mirrored my vehicle.

Jimbo1mcm 03-24-2013 07:23 AM

Mine came!
 
Waiting to open it on my birthday in a week!

There's a US distributor link in the first post. Down to 12. At nearly $160 with shipping, I'm not that tempted. I'm a little tempted as I have a Graphite Shadow, but it's a JDM, so forget it. Then I won't have the urge to mod my model along with my car.
