PICS A magic Mustang model .........
I did post these some time ago but as there are some new people posting it's time to air these again! The model is in 1:43rd scale by Kyosho and it is a Shelby 350GT. There was also lots of chat recently about the availability of US cars of the '60's/'70's in 1:43rd scale. Lucky for us Kyosho selected this one and if you are lucky it may cost you around ?18. Low end price wise but for detail - high end!

Chris Kyosho Mustang.
I will vouch for that car, I had mine at a show and most spectators thought it was a very expensive model.The quality and detail are simply fantastic.

Sorry to sound like a broken record but....
Where can you get Kyoshos?

That's a wonderful model, Chris. Your excellent photographs present it very well. Obviously, Kyosho has done a great job with such a cool pony car.

It looks great to me, also. Thanks for the great photography, Chris.

John, Ebay is the best place.
I do not recall any US-based online diecast store to carry this line. Anyway, this model is rather old, you won't find it at a retailer.

Kyosho vs. Ixo seems Ixo also have a GT350 (1965/66) anyone see that one? Wich one looks better.
Kyosho has reissued(??) the GT350 in white & in red with gold stripes (wich I do not like that much) The Ixo is red with white stripes.

Albert - you are right here the model is a few years old ...
and is hard to find.
I get mine a couple of years ago from a retailer who said he was lucky to obtain further supplies of this model.
