dimaxion Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I go for real . The cargo hook gives it away . Those scared me when I hauled cars . One hook welded to a single piece of sheet metal ..shiver . Japaneese Sheet Metal at that . Thanx.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 SOmething screams model with this one.....not sure why, but it just does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Fink Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Looks real to me. If it's a model someone spent a good amount om time on the rear hatch detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbler75 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The colour of the lights, the lack of detail on the tires, and a few other details scream Model to me. And then there is the Relation of the Trees to the Asphalt (if you wanna call it that, looks like a shingle to me). I believe it's a Initial D Diecast done very well. Which lookin' at my model shelf and seeing mine. They are identical!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10chevypu Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ok, once again I"am going with real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Car says real...Environment says model. Mmmmmm? Real Deal . Oh! One more thing...Why put the tie down hooks on the rear? Tie downs are on the rear because they were shipped by ocean going vessel, tied down at both ends for safety reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The windows gave it away. Everything is distorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest promodmerc Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 My dad was a Toyota mechaninc for many years. I have seen many US versions of that car so I knew. The biggest give away was the rearview mirror. I must say it is a very good diecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Final vote: 23 REAL, 49 MODEL. I thought I'd get you with this one, but you guys win... it's a model! 1/18 diecast. Next ROM coming MONDAY! You tried to make it hard on me, Harry, but my beginner's luck held strong!! 3 For 3!! The tie down hook in the rear almost made me say "Real", but the give aways that led me to say "Model" was the apparent mounting stud in the front marker light, the highly visible seem on the door rear view mirror, and those tires just screamed "I'm not real!!". The lack of tire valve stems, or at least not visible to me, helped, too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
