Kyosho Release #38 British Sports Cars

Hi Everyone,

Here are the official pictures from Kyosho's release #38, the British Sports Cars. They've strike gold again with this new release. The car selection are excellent, and each one is loaded with fine details. I love how they created a new mold for each of the McLaren F1 and just didn't get lazy and simply slap on a rear wing and mark it as the GTR version. The race cars are awesome too... probably available for the first time in 1/64 scale. I'm sure we'll see some interesting eBay wars on these cars.

Just like the last few releases there will be a secret/chase car. I have no idea what it is though. Most likely a color variant of a particular car, but I'd love to see that they've pulled some extra effort and maybe created a McLaren F1 GTR with racing livery..... yeah...

Enjoy the pictures and start saving money.

YEAH!
My complet collection is in the mail..receive it in 7-10 days
Thank you for the info troopeur... now the hunt begins.... : )
I received my set today only one word amazing. the quality , the details and the paint is perfect on 28 cars.
I'm desapointed by the Mclaren F1 GTR orange and Yellow ,the paint is not very well applied , car look like plastic
I received mine today and they are not well made. Paint were not applied well, assembly is pretty bad. A lot of the side view mirrors fell. My Aston Martin DBR9 #009 even has a right hand side tail light put in place of the left hand side, which looked ridiculous.
I just saw I miss mirror on yelow/green DBR9 , i'll try to fix trouble.
but the paint and other details are correct on all other 29 cars in the set
I agree, I think some of the cars did not pass through quality control, but generally most of them were ok.
You guys are lucky, I must have gotten a bad lot. I carefully double checked everything and found that 9 of my cars have defects. Contacting ebay seller for a possible exchange.

Please don't blame ebay sellers, they place orders in Japan and get junks from Japanese mall. Read this blog, http://kyoshocmsrock.blogspot.com/2009/09/kyosho-british-car-2-series-fall-off.html, I can taste the disappointment of the blog owner in my mouth.
That's interesting.

He mentioned the 2 cars that I received with some degree of damage as well.
My silver Mclaren GTR's axles were bent. The DBR spoilers were detached.

How can you tell the axles were bent, did u remove the car from the base?
I don't know if I should bid the cars in ebay, not sure what I will get from sellers. I understand their position but I wish to save myself agony. Please help, fellow members.
Oops. Sorry, my bad. The axles are not bent but the wheels were not properly attached.

I did remove the rivets to straighten them out and it improved a little bit.

I guess the sellers have from ebay have no control as well because they only open the boxes to identify the contents without really inspecting each one they sell.
Here's my situation: my seller said to send my DBR9 back to him, he send it to his dealer to replace the item and send it back to me. The seller would reimburse my shipping cost to my paypal account AFTER he got reimbursed by dealer. Is this safe? Should I go thru with it or just leave it? Any advice would help. Thanks
I'm worried about the 4 cars I have coming from an eBay seller.

Don't know if there's much I can do if they arrive in bad shape.

I understand the sellers point of view, BUT...
they are the ones making the profits off the buyers
all too often the buck stops at the buyers doorstep :(

:confused:

If they come in bad shape, you should write to ebay seller to ask for replacements or full refund. They should check the items first before selling them to customers.
It might not have been sellers' fault entirely, but sellers really should put in a LITTLE extra effort to make sure they are not sending defective cars to buyers since they are making quite good profits off of us buyers.

My contact in Japan tells me that the mistakes in this series are common.
Aproximately 50% of the final products are damage from the manufacturer, :(:(:(kyosho must invest in quality control in their products
