Yea a local hobby shop has the same model, but they want $60 for it! I told them I'll pass but I might go back and pick it up..
I'd rather a metal die-cast one, like the ones on eBay, but those look cheap. I would instantly buy a really detailed and well made die-cast SC for like $100.

Got mine at autozone hobbies http://www.autozonehobbies.com/ for $38. It sounds like a few people here can get there hands on these things without much effort. Not so in my case. Maybe I just performed all the wrong searches or something - Of course it was about 4 years ago the last time I tried finding anything.

To answer your question, One JZ SC3, the maker of this model is Fujimi.

Question for those of you who are heavy into this whole plastic car model kit thing. Can I use regular automotive paint (airbrushed, of course) on my model?

I recently had my front bumper repainted and had them give me an extra pint of the mixture. I'd love to have a perfect match between my model and my car. I'm just not sure if the plastic will take automotive paint. I'm halfway thinking that the right primer would solve the issue.

Any suggestions?

No. the best paint to use for plastic model cars is Tamia model car paint..

LOL this title asking for so many jokes! Then I saw the car model to top it off I just laughed and shook my head. You just need it in a frame in your back seat to complete the find haha.
