Diecast models - a couple of questions

Postby Missile » Sat Dec 06, 2008 11:31 pm

Who does the most realistic Mk5 & 6 models, and by that I mean manufacturer and in what scale?
What does code 3 mean?

i found this.

The codes relate to the condition & modifications done to a particular model.
Code 1 : Standard model as it comes from the manufacturer.

Code 2 : Standard model, but with slight changes usually contained to the packaging or badging on a particular model.

Code 3 : Massive changes made to the appearance of the model. For example my Code 3 John Bowe Mustang. The car was originally made as a Red SVT Mustang by mastifo, however Dinkum models put sponsoring all over it so that it now appears like the one John Bowe raced in GTPin 2000.

hope this helps,
cheers.

Thanks, that answers part 2, as I keep seeing suitable for code 3 on unlettered models. I thought I might get one and livery it as our business and stick it in the office.

I knew that, and it worried me... I was hoping he'd be too tired from welding and quaffing JD to spot the post :lol:
