Mr Laurence Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Just finished working on a 1/24 Fujimi Nissan 180SX kit. I’ve tried to make it look like a left hand drive 240sx with a few modifications that are very typical for these cars. The steering wheel was taken from a Suzuki Cappuccino, the number plates are off a Supra and the exhaust back box is a painted piece of sprue. I had bought a set of wheels to put on it too, but I wasn’t a fan of the way that they looked so I painted the ones that came with the kit gold and used those instead (they’ve come out really nicely, but we’re an absolute bugger to mask) if I were to make this again, I don’t think I’d bother with the pop up lights, since you have to cut into the body for these, which requires a hell of a lot of patience. Definitely my best effort so far though. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s come out. This was also the first kit I ever made, about 2 years ago. I painted the white one with a brush and whatever paints I could find, so there’s a huge different in quality between the two of them.

AndyW201 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Put the Corgi Sierra back in the loft. While doing that, I glimpsed a bit of a Corgi box I wasn't familiar with. Shit the bed, a 190! Definitely one of the 'Bloody hell, I didn't even know I had that' collection. To boot, in years of browsing on the net among miniature 190s, I've never come across one in this type of box. Apart from the special Mobil freebie, I've seen them in the early black/yellow box, the later blue/yellow box with the road signs and Rancho on the side flaps, and the big window box with useless badge on the plinth, like the Sierra came in. This seems to have been the follow up to that type, again, a way of Corgi shifting a few of their elderly 1/36 castings as collector's pieces. This one dates from 1994, the year after 190 production ended. At least this packaging seems to have a bit more longevity than the previous type. For something that's more or less a toy, it captures the shape well, even though, as DC alluded to with the taxi version, the casting itself is as rough as arseholes. Points are awarded to the grille casting (less so the clumsy star at the top), the 16v 'Cosworth' bodykit is well rendered with the jack point covers moulded in, and the mirrors and door handles look good. The old 70s style generic Corgi wheels don't look too bad, the centre holes are filled in on this model, and the design, along with the wide, relatively high profile tyres with small diameter wheels aren't a million miles away from the 15" 'guilledeckel' wheels fitted to the 16v. However, Corgi, we have a problem with the interior haven't we? The 16v 190 came with heavily bolstered front seats, with a two seater, heavily bolstered rear bench. This has the interior of the previous standard bodied version, which is a shame. Still, at least they did it in black. Otherwise, not bad inside, the handbrake console is done well, the front armrest is present, though it should be mounted halfway up the passenger seat, not on the console. The door card detail is cast into the door and is pretty well detailed. The 190 dash is also done very well here, even the generic Corgi 4 spoke steering wheel looks a dead ringer for the period AMG version. Manual box too. While in the loft, I dug this out. I have to say I prefer the Corgi 190 in standard, pre face lift guise, complete with sliding sunroof. This is another take on the taxi theme. I think this one is from Denmark, although I am still after the cream German taxi version. I still want the first release too, in grey with the old style black and yellow box, also the 'Nurburgring' Swinford Motors version in black with race graphics. Next up, I remember attending the Ripon classic car show and autojumble around 2008. I was there in my Nutria brown 190e, I spotted this Burago 190 and thought 'Yay, a brown 190 model!' on a stall that was just packing up. It was priced at £4 but it was a case of 'give us a couple of quid, save me taking it home'. Sold! However, I got it home and out of the box, Shit, it's grey! Bloody bronze glazing on the box... For a cheap toy, it ain't too bad, apart from the weird blue tinted glass, continuing to the headlights. Again, it's a 2.3/2.5 16v model, so the bodykit is well rendered, including the very slightly extended arches. The grille is pretty good for the time, and the scale apart from, again, a slightly clumsy star. At least the sports seats feature in this one, with rear headrests, the first aid compartment on the shelf, and the 16v rear wing. Nice to get one in normal, road going trim too, all the other ones of these I've seen have been in rally trim. A bit of an oddball next. Obviously a code 3 created as a giveaway for an automotive parts group. It was hanging around on eBay years ago with no takers, so I snagged it for buttons. The model itself is the Solido rendering of the 190, which is pure mid '80s. Despite a bit of a lack of detail, e.g no door mirrors and no detail at all on the inside of the doors, it has quite a bit of charm as an '80s model. The shape is captured nicely, and the wheels are quite attractive, in the style of a set of '80s style aftermarket alloys. It does have a bit of an identity crisis though, the front bumper is an unpainted 16v job, it has the side panels from a 16v, colour coded, an unpainted 16v spoiler and a standard rear bumper. Not unlike a lot of 190s that were running about 10-15 years ago in fact... Surprisingly, that's it for smol 190s, considering I owned 6 of the things and have always been a big fan of the real thing! But there isn't really a lot of choice out there. Minichamps have done a few nice versions, but of course, go for mucho spends, especially the 1/18 scale versions, beautiful though they are.

AndyW201 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 While I had the 1/36 Corgi 190s out, I had to dig these out too, I blame all the Sierra love on here lately. It's made me realise I've got nowhere near enough 1/36 Corgis in my life. I got these a few years ago at a very reasonable price from a member of this here thread. Apologies but I can't recall exactly who, though I'm still chuffed to bits with these two E30s. A very good rendering of the 2 door E30 shape. Never seen this version, with the side graphics, I'm sure the iX was only available in four door form though. It was bought unboxed but in very good condition, just how I like them. Only a couple of small paint chips. What I love about this particular variant is the brilliantly engineered opening bonnet, which opens like the real thing. Up at the front, Then tip forward to reveal the (chromed!) engine. The interior is pretty realistic, the seats are the right shape, as is the dash, and it has the same sliding sunroof as fitted to the 190. My favourite is the red version though. One of my bosses when I was on the taxis back in the mid '90s, had a 316 2 door almost identical to this, same colour combo, the standard BMW trims looked a bit like the wheels on this model, even the bodykit was the same. Incidentally, the bodykit on this Corgi model was quite rare in real life, being made by the company Pfeba. It seems the side skirts were almost a copy of the period Alpina jobs but the front apron is the difference, Good for Corgi for modelling the E30 with one of the lesser known aftermarket kits, rather than the usual M Tech or Alpina kits of the time. Same funky opening bonnet. And for once, being a 2 door, the Corgi tip-up seats are justified...  Two quick Teutonic compact saloons together! When I got the two Bimmers, , I also fulfilled a childhood ambition and got this, I had been after one of these for years. Been meaning to do something with it for years, I'm hoping it'll get a nice Zircon blue or Opaline green paint job. I've tested the lights, the rears work, sadly I haven't managed to get the fronts working. I have temporarily painted the front and rear spoilers and rear spats black so far to see how it'll look with them detailled in after a paint job.

Interior now going together and gave everything a few final coats of paint. Unfortunately had to take a big step backwards on the Fairlady. I attempted a paintwork repair after it got damaged when my daughter knocked it on the floor a few years ago, but it didn't work out. It's now having a relaxing bath in a tub of brake fluid. Just got to hope I can find some matching/similar paint - I don't have enough left in the can, but with a lot of detail painting on the chassis and under the bonnet done in that colour I can't easily change it.

I also got a 1/43 Bburago version as part of a 5 pack from my Granny a number of years ago, as you say it infuriatingly has rally stickers over the white paint job. Have you seen the Bburago 1/24 version? I think it only came in 2 or so versions, metallic grey and a blue rally version in kit form, all based in the standard model. There may have been a few others but I've never seen them. The former is a nice piece. Although it only has opening doors, it does have a working windscreen wiper and steering.

I've got a different version of your Solido 190, which is almost brown, too: From memory, it's actually closer to gunmetal grey. Here it is featuring in a photo shoot I took last month: Yeah, defo grey. looking at the above two photos taken 16 months apart, I'd like to think that my miniature shite documenting has progressed somewhat. I do have a brown 190 though! This is a legit, solid brown pre-Sacco 190, with no body kit; my personal favourite spec of all the 190 castings. The big issue with this Siku casting is the C pillars, which ar not very accurate. This borrowed image possibly shows the brown better: However, as a toy, the 190 was very well served. Here are a few I can remember: Majorette (is that brown?) Corgi Junior. So so for effort but bonus points for being marketed later on as a Hot Wheels, despite this. Of all the body kitted versions though, I reckon this is the daddy: Superkings 2.3 16V: I bought and identical one of these new from my favourite model shop in York in 1993/4, when this was obviously obsolete stock. But the box art called out to me, as did the wheels which actually filled the arches and had a nice centre. I remember not having enough money left to buy it and having to wait another week to get my pocket money topped up, so I could afford it! I even remember day dreaming about it at school, worrying that someone else may have bought it in the intervening days!! Funny the things you remember, eh?

It's a non metallic red colour, pretty close to factory Signal red, so that must have been another colour option at the time. I like that Solido in Jon's post. It looks far better in a factory type metallic colour. That and the Majorette one look very similar to the factory shade Anthracite, which is like a dark grey with just a touch of bronze. I have big feelings of regret seeing that Siku 190. I got one years ago off eBay, still on its card packaging. Since then though, it has been out of the card, put on display and finally ended up in 201_jnr's play pile, so now has lost most of its lovely brown paint and both front doors!
