1/43 scale or 1/18 scale M2s on the way ? (M2 diecast thread)

///Cardia · 09-07-2017, 02:36 AM

Nice! You got a steal, that's literally less than the price of a beer in Czech!

Nezil · 09-08-2017, 12:58 AM

Anybody have an extra LBB they'd like to sell? The GT Spirit one like great too; whee can I pre order from?

I've seen LBB with the M Performance Stripes, and it just looks awkward ... they're ok on MG but haven't seen them on BSM.

BSM with stripes is there... Pace cars are the press drives had them.

I just receved my GT Spirit 1:18 in LBB this morning. Very impressed, the level of interior and exterior detail easily beats the Minichamps model.

I have both a GT Spirit and a Minichamps on order. Neither have shipped yet, which is frustrating.

I'm finding, like many do, that waiting for your car to arrive results in un-necessary spending on M2 related things!

Airic72 · 10-10-2017, 12:37 PM

Which one is better? The GT Sprint or Minichamps?

johnnydad · 10-10-2017, 07:31 PM

My LBB GT Spirit came last week.

Superb paint, great interior, excellent details of lights/wheels etc. I don't think the bulge/gap beside the headlights is replicated quite dramatically enough, and nothing opens.

There's also no plinth upon which to display it, no big deal as my other 1:18s are in a cabinet without plinths.

izzyM2 · 10-10-2017, 07:34 PM

So GT Spirit IS same as minichamps in regards to doors, hood, trunk does not open?

A few photos of the GT Spirit 1:18 M2

BishUK · 10-15-2017, 05:20 PM

Wow, loving the detail on the GT variant, soooo much more than my minichamps one...will get one of these too. They have even done a proper front air intake which you can see the FMIC through.

BMW_M2 · 10-16-2017, 10:49 PM

Does anybody have both the Minichamps and the GT Spirit 1/18?

Is it possible to please share some comparison photoss of them side by side ?

Thanks alot in advance !

dtmpower98 · 10-22-2017, 08:02 PM

Got bored and thought I'd try to lower the model M2. Just put a lighter flame under the plastic control arms and apply pressure to the wheels up into the wheel well. Worked I guess hahahahaa

While I’m waiting for the real thing, Minichamps will do

EYEHAVEYOU · 11-03-2017, 01:16 PM

Does anyone know if a 1:43 model is still in the works? Thanks
