Birthday Year Supercars

[XXX-1.8T]

Thought i'd buy 2 Kyosho Supercar models one for me and one for Miltiadi each from our years we were born in (1980 and 2008.)

I bought a 2008 White Audi R8 (white like my old A3) and late 70's Yellow Lamborghini LP400 (yellow like the TT). I was born in 1980 although this was the closest one as the other Countaches had the ugly spoilers from 1983+. This one keeps all the classical lines.

The white Audi R8 was a pain to get as they sell out so quick. The Lambo was even harder to get as they stopped making them in yellow back in 2001 although i tracked down a NOS one.

I posted the pics as i love the details of both Kyosho models:

Nice little touch is the retractable spoiler works as well which suprised me!

Growing up in the 80's people either had Lambo's, Ferraris, or Porsche posters growing up. I wonder what the future holds for Miltiadi in terms of car posters :cool:

Wow! Beautiful quality and attention to detail. I love the R8! I want a model of a mk 4 r32 in blue like my car. I'm on the hunt.
