1:18 for sure...Haven't seen much of the matchbox scale stuff...It is out there however. Someone will chime in soon. Haven't you seen the Home screenshot of the matchbox cars??

Didn't realize you were capable of responding without being a complete bitter asshole. Good job.

Just curious if there's ever been a run of Gen V Viper toy cars? I own a Prowler and I have a couple cases of small Prowler cars I pass out to kids at car shows or anyplace I encounter kids when I'm cruising. They're a good conversation piece. The Prowlers were made by Maisto and were 1:64th scale. Below is what they looked like.

Actually the gen 5 design was prematurely released by hot wheels i believe. About a week before the reveal somebody found the hot wheel version for sale.... so yes there is one!

As BJG mentioned, Hot Wheels has done the Gen V GTS in a variety of colors (Red, yellow, blue, and grey) as well as the GTS-R (silver, black, and blue). Here are a couple:

Somebody is selling a kit to update 1:18 models to ACR. You have to paint though.

There was a guy on eBay that was doing custom Viper models. I got the bug to try and find 1:18 versions of every car I've ever owned. He painted several for me. He even fabricated wings, splitters, spoilers, etc. He made exact copies of my 08 Bright Blue/Silver stripes, 06 FE Coupe, 14 GTS white/black stripe with advanced aero, 09 ACR, and my 15 TA. He replicated the cars exactly including the license plate.

Bad news is, he doesn't do them anymore and here I was hoping if I ever get an ACR-E he would do that too.

Here's pics of the actual models. 1:18 scale

Sweet I would love to have a Gen V Viper in purple but I doubt anyone makes them...I would buy one and pay extra...

I was hoping Auto Art would have made some as their models are very well made and detailed. But to date only Bburago and Maisto have made G5 in 1:18 that Ive seen and they aren't on the level of the past Auto Art Vipers I have. I'm surprised they haven't done one yet..

Look what I found.

A little ways below his name on the youtube page of the video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRm-aBLNPjA ) there are three clickable text selections, "Share" "Embed" and "Email". Click Email. I have not tried to contact him.

You could also google his name and you would find his facebook page, and you may also find links to his auctions on eBay. I remember recently seeing a transkit like he mentions; but, can't remember if it was for a Viper or some other car. A lot of work went into sculpting and making a mold for that SRT hood, I bet. Even if it was done in 3D printing, getting a scale 3D computer model would take a lot of effort unless one had easy access to a large scale 3D scanner.

Post a comment on the video, it will go to his email via youtube and he will be notified.
If you have a youtube account you will be able to communicate.

Not really a Toy, but I just bought one of these limited edition models.

I can't believe there's not been a 1/18 blue/white gen 3 FE coupe. I would love one, the best I've managed so far is a Norev 1/43. I know there was a 1/10 RC model in Toys R Us, but can't find one for sale

Have you got any photos of your gen 3 FE model?

Closest I've found in my travels was a 1:18 GTS-R Competition Coupe in B/W colors.

I'm with you there. I asked about him doing one, a 2006 FE, for me and it's not going to be cheap. Also asked about doing a GT3-R in the Gas Monkey livery and holy pricy... I would like to see more pictures of his work.

There are some very nice 1/32 and 1/24th scale Gen V race models out there by a company called Scale Auto. I also just picked up this 1/18th scale Gen V race car from a Co. called SPARK. This one was pricey but the detailing is very good.

I attached some pics of the SPARK model.

The only 1:18 Gen 3 coupe model was made by AutoArt. They came in red and black I believe. No Gen 4 coupes. If you can find them they are expensive (like $200). I bought two and had one painted GTS Blue/White Stripe to match my old Gen 3 FE. I had the other one set up to match my old Gen 4 ACR.

Thanks, I've seen them for sale, and wondered about doing the same. Wheels would need to be changed/modified though as well as paint/stripes etc. As you say they are fairly expensive, but good quality.

The guy that did mine (who no longer does them) painted wheels and even lowered one to make my 09 ACR.

Hey guys. Just caught this thread. We're working on having some molds made to do the latest ACR Extreme in 1:18 and we'll also do custom paint, etc. on any model we have or you may have. We have seen Julien's work too and it is a great option if you're in a rush for it. Once we have everything worked out we'll let everyone know. If there is something you need or want model wise, just shoot us a message and we'll do our best!
