Basically i prefer waxing...does it works as good as silica gel packs in preserving the paintwork of the diecast...?

Waxing is a great way to protect your diecast models from the elements and keep them looking their best.

My AE86 is based on the first seasons before Takumi joins Project D, but I will clarify some points regarding this model. The "new" engine is a 4AGE actually, but a 20-valve one instead of the stock 16-valve one. Regarding the new compound model, it was used because, according to the manufacturers, to have more detail accuracy, but to be honest, they remade this ¨Project D version¨ and not the original one because they made mistakes on this one. Not huge mistakes as Kyodo´s AE86 1/18 model, but some. For example, the sun visors should not be installed, when Takumi's car was upgraded, the sun visors were removed to save weight. Fun fact, in real life, when back in the day you could get the car from a Toyota retailer, rarely installed from a factory. Those OEM sun visors are quite rare to find in good condition (Trueno ones and Levin ones are more common). Another fun fact comparing the real car is the fact that your model doesn´t hold the rear door it makes it more realistic because the OEM Toyota hydraulics are prone to fail (I had to replace mine too) haha.

As an AE86 Trueno 3 Door owner (and Initial D fan), some points in case someone is interested in knowing about the car, to complement the video. Regarding the decal on the driver´s door. The translation in Japanese is "Fujiwara tofu shop (private use)" About the silver thing on the front wheels hub, indeed is a cap, the reason why is on the front wheels and on the rear doesn´t is because the hub itself is different, and the cap has to be there to avoid contaminating with dust and debris the grease which lubricates the bearings. On the steering wheel, the "logo" is not on the horn button, the horn buttons are actually three and they are located on each point of the center hub of the steering wheel, which is made of leather.

What's the difference between a die-cast model and a composite model?
@duckduckdiecast33249 ай бұрын
Thanks for your question. Die cast models are usually made of metal usually the body and chassis are metal. And Composite uses plastic on on basically the whole model. You can tell the lightness of the model almost immediately as soon as you lift up a composite model.

It's a common misconception to call that spoiler "whale tail", but that one is known as the "tea tray" for its raised brim on all sides. The "whale tail" was a cantilever spoiler from before these cars had an intercooler, so it didn't have that big box underneath that you see on the tea tray. It's crazy to think, but the 930 Turbo debuted without an intercooler... Once Porsche added the intercooler, the 930 changed from the whale tail to that tea tray to make room. IIRC, surplus whale tails from Porsche's 934 racing program continued as a factory option on the normally-aspirated 911's

Hi my friend, I was a bid disappointed when I just got one. several grills are not through and through. I see you often say things are through and through when they are not (904 minichamps for instance). I knew that in advance and did not meant to bother you with this. But it seems like a habit 😂… front grills aren’t through and through, plain, esay to see. It’s not on you, but I find it’s disruptive so I guess I had to say it this time 👍
@duckduckdiecast3324 Жыл бұрын
Hey @davidbeaulieu1305 Thanks for your input! I take no offense and i appreciate giving me a heads up on that regard. I’ll try to pay attention to the details better on the future videos to come. The emphasis i like to make on grilles that are “through and through” are the photoetched grills that actually have individual holes in the mesh grilles and not just one big plastic mold that has a grille surface. Ive come up with better ideas to be alot more organized on the features of the models in the next few months. Another thing i know i need to address as well is some of the shakyness on the videos especially on interior details. So i’ll need to polish that a bit as well. Again i appreciate the input and thank you for that. 👍🏽🙂 it helps me grow and to help the diecast collecting community as well to help them make better decisions on possible models they might be interested to purchase in the future.

Yea, you are right. There are two things plastic poles missing, that would connect the wing strutts to the rollover bar. These poles would have two small nipple protrubrances which would fit into the two small holes. But you could make them yourself. You might be interested in knowing that the open lattice on top of the mudguards, is, to let the air pass though, as it achieves top speed, otherwise the car would lift off the track and flipping over.

It was my first composite model - and I was shocked when I compared it to AutoArt's die-cast Pagani Huayra. The interior of the Koenigsegg is just too plastic (toyish), the engine is a complete disaster. How did AutoArt come to this after their amazing die-cast Paganis, Mazda 787B, Nissan R390? So I was happy to sell the One:1. Anyway, later I bought AutoArt's Koenigsegg Agera RS because: 1. it has different improvenents here and there over the AutoArt's One:1 and 2. it is Koenigsegg
