Looking for a Kyosho 1:18 328GTS

I didn't know they made a GTS, I have the GTB on my desk at the office.

 

I do not have one (and have only seen one once on ebay), but they do exist. Very short run of one color only. The GTBs are usually $400, so this one could be a bit more.

Some amazing pics there! Glad I have one.

 

I lost one on eBay a while back. I wanted one because it's also the miniature version of my '87 GTS, red with black gut. I kept searching and finally snapped up one from a seller in France. Shipped quickly and the model was in perfect condition!

 

Lol.

 

Check the classifieds, looking to sell the 1:1 but not the 1:18! Perhaps we can make a package deal though.......

 

More than $400? Jeez, the values of these have gone up a lot since I found mine a couple of years ago. I think I bought it for about $120 on Ebay. It's a solid, well built model, but not the favorite one in my collection because it doesn't seem 100% accurate in its detailing. Still, despite that, it's not for sale (sorry).

I'd recommend setting up a saved search on Ebay and just being patient until a good one comes up. When I started looking, they were already out of production. I'd put off getting one for a while (because I never thought it looked that accurate), but always loved the 328 and eventually figured nobody would make a better quality version in 1/18 scale.

If you're not stuck on 1/18 scale, I'd strongly recommend considering getting a 1/24 scale Ferrari 328 model kit by Hasegawa. It's a plastic kit you'd have to paint and assemble, but it's fantastic quality, with a ton of photo-etched metal parts, and looks way more realistic than the Kyosho one (just at a smaller scale). I built both the GTB and GTS versions when I was a kid. You can still find a ton of them on Ebay for under $30.

PS. Stuart, I think we met at the Matthews Estate Winery Ferrari show last summer!

 

Yahoo auction in Japan. 19,800 jpy. Auction ends 4/30.

??????? 1/18 ????? 328 GTB - ????!

 

I got a good laugh out of this!^^^

 

Back when the GTBs first came out, they were $79. I bought the red/black one and the black/tan one. Then I disassembled them, swapped bodies, and had a black/black one like my car. Sold the red/tan one on eBay, and a lot of people wanted it, since it was never a production color combo. I would have done the same with the GTS if they made a black one.

You can do an eBay search for Anson, too, which are a bit less quality and money, but decent. I disassembled the black/tan Anson one and painted the interior black.

 

Nice! I would have preferred a red on tan GTS too. I'm not surprised you had a lot of interest in the one you put together.

 

This thread has reminded how much I loved the Hasegawa kits. The models were lost after my childhood when I got rid of all of my 1/24 kits and started collecting pre-assembled 1/18 versions, but I'm feeling nostalgic enough to buy a couple of the Hasegawa models (a GTB and a GTS). Realistically, I probably won't get around to assembling them for several years, but it's such an excellent quality kit that I figure I better pick them up and store them away before they become rare to non-existent as well.

 

This 308 is exactly what I am looking for. Anyone here who can read and translate the text please?

 

I would love to see a 1/24 scale of the 308 GTS QV (US/Euro versions) from Hasegawa whcih I'm surprised that they choose to produce the 328 instead!

 

I’m interested in buying a 1/18 good quality Ferrari 328 Gts red on tan. Do someone know where to buy

 

Eric, those are so hard to find. I hope you find one though, they look awesome (the Kyosho's). I have one in Giallo, but it's a GTB. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet, thinking about display options

 

I have one. It's giallo/nero
