Is anyone familiar with the Jcollection line? It seems to be modern
Japanese cars. I was looking at a display in our public library today, and a mini-car in our scale was displayed, still in its case. It was marked "Jcollection," and I came home and looked it up. Interesting resin pieces, if anyone is looking at this subject field.

Been around for quite a while.
A branch of the Ixo empire, specialising in Japanese cars.
Follow this link to the Ixo/J Collection site
Edit: OOPS! Sorry David, I just saw the header of your post and thought you were enquiring about a brand you weren't familiar with!
Anyway,. the link may be useful to someone else.

Thanks, Graeme. It's interesting to see a full line of models that I'm not familiar with. I have a few IXO models, and now I know a little more about the full line.

Not only Ixo but earlier models were done by Kyosho.
I have several taxi models all them being by Kyosho wich includes some exclusive Japanese market only.

Karl, I am not familiar with the HobbyDB site, but I found it through your
Jcollection note. Just to see what might be there, I searched "Packard." Surprise! Some of the pictures that came up were very familiar; they even included some of the little people who hang around my display area. I think these were pictures that I have posted on this forum, and then I remembered that you mentioned using some. Great fun to find them! If I'm right, then I thank you. If not, oh well, somebody liked them. Enjoy!

Those are your pics via me! You gave your permission a while ago so I am happily posting all your great photos to hobbyDB! We should keep these as an historic record of the hobby and of great diecast/resin replicas and toys. Thanks so much for all your efforts!
