? Die Cast 1/18th CB7's ?

[Mike1357]

I'm a huge fan of 1/18th die cast model cars and I have quite a large collection built up between me and my father. We've been collecting these cars for years and recently I started looking around for a 1992 Accord but I haven't come up with any results after a few multiple hour searches. Has anyone found or owned any CB7 1/18th model?

I think there was a really old hot wheels deal but nothing that big.

Really? Honestly to find one in any size would be surprising.

if you get one id like to see a picture of it. sounds like quite the collectors item.

Will do. And yes, it does sound like a rare collectors item, especially for us CB7 owners. I hope to god I can find one in seattle silver.

There is not one in 1/18 at all. Trust me, been looking for a long time. Started collecting in the last 90s. There are a few threads about 1/18 mentioning our cars as well on the forum. Only accord I've seen is the one Motormax put out, in 'tuner' form but it's a 7th gen coupe.

There was a 5th gen die cast model... but that was it. There are no CBs in that size that I'm aware of. This has been discussed since the earliest days of this site... and nobody has ever found one

I once found a site that would design any car you want... but it would cost about $100. I've considered it. I wonder if we could get a group buy going. (Actually... that's not a bad idea!)


How much would you guys pay? Maybe we can make it happen.

Hell, we already have a guy that's done 3d modeling of a CB7. His work is pretty accurate. I bet that could be plugged into whatever machine would make the die...

$100 for a custom made die cast model is actually pretty cheap. A lot of the auto art cars go for more than that. I'd be in for a group buy if the price could be dropped down from $100.

[deevergote]

Could someone make a 3D model, and then have that rendering CNC machined? Then that could be used to make a mold...

i have seen a cb7 model car once.

it was about 10 or so years ago at a Nopi show.

an asian man was selling model cars from japan. the box had japanese writting on it with a piture of a cb7.

the cost was $20.

i had spent all my money at the show, so i couldn't buy it. i asked my friend for a loan, but he said he didn't have it.

a cb7 model did exsit. i just wish i could have gotten it. later.

[deevergote]

Was it a plastic "glue it together" model, or a die cast "hotwheels" style?

I want the hotwheels style!


I keep looking for custom diecast car companies, but I can't tell if the ones I'm finding will make the die, or just paint a random car for you (lots of them do Nascar paintjobs on little Nascar replicas)

[Mike1357]

I'd be happy to see it in a plastic put together or die cast form. Honestly to find any form of CB7 model would be epic.

[TypeG]

yeah it ws a plastic glue together, i know he meant die cast aluminum cars though.

i'd rather have the kind you assemble because of how detailed you can get with it. later.

[deevergote]

Very true. I'd like either, really. Both...

Yeah, the plastic ones are nice because they're easier to modify and make them look like your own car.

BTW does anyone have CB7 blueprints? I've been looking for some forever.
