Nissan Maxima model car to be made?

I've emailed a model builder..they produce many regular production cars (like Celicas, Expeditions, IS300s, etc.) in 1:18 scale so I don't see why a Maxima model would be too far out of the question. Basically this thread is to see how many of you would be interested in buying a model. If you would consider getting one (it'd be affordable not over $50 I assume) please reply. This is ur chance to have a lil Mini Maxima to play with at home lol. Nothing has been finalized yet, but I need to see how many potential buyers there would be.

I'll be first buyer

I'm not sure what company (Tamiya?) but they have some of those plastic kits with accesories (rims, wings, etc.) that could be purchased separately. The store was in Little Tokyo in LA, I think it closed down tho

Well the company I emailed is AutoArt, they dont make kits so its the whole thing for whatever price it is..

I want two

If you do a search, this topic has come up before and several members were interested in a toy/replica 5th gen Maxima. Nothing came of it, so I'm glad to see your post. I would buy a pair of them, especially if a Kev edition is available. You could maybe sell them at a meet.

I've tried

I've tried to build a 1/24 scale model by taking differnet available bodies, from other cars, and modifying them. I really haven't come close yet. I would not expect Tamiya to make a Maxima anytime soon. I thought if I could get the body mold done, I could make a resin replicas easily. Lots of work and very hard to get the mold right.
