Ebbro Premium model cars in 1/20 and 1/24.

Last update on 12-2-2015. Made contact details more clear as my photographer got more emails than i did. ;-)
Just to be clear i can be contacted trough: news@ebbropremium.nl

All of my Ebbro-premium models will be on display from 1-7-2015 till 9-8-2015 in Louwman museum in the Netherlands as part of the NAMAC anniversary display.

Next to the regular ebbro 1:43 well known model cars the factory has also produced some quite staggering model cars in 1:20 and 1:24.
Lately they also made bikes in 1:10 and some 1:12 cars. The later two are not listed yet, and problably won't be as they go beyond what i like in model cars.

The complete listing of ebbro premium cars is not an easy thing to make, as there have been models removed from the site, and the numbering sometimes changes. The listing i made here is as complete as i can get it.
Collecting data from the ebbro catalogs, the ebbro site, and some listings on Graham Ruckert's site.
But if anybody spots any errors, or has additions i forgot to mention feel free to contact me on news@ebbropremium.nl.

There are some different categorys to list to sepparate between the different series.

Honda F1 cars in 1/20.

This is my pre-release RA302.






RA302 finaly was released in 2012. Both 22007 and 22008 are available without the need to visit the honda museum.
So i no longer am the only one with an RA302 in 1:20.  ;-)

Both the pre-release and the new 22007 together. There are some differences.





All the RA302's together.

From these models there also are some versions sold exclusively in the honda museum japan. These are much more difficult to buy as they tend to stay in Japan.
All but the RA271 have gold rims. And they are scale models of the cars as they are kept in the museum.

Ebbro Premium road cars in 1/24.








Of these there are quite some questions on if they are made at all, and if they were made in what numbers. Some are probably canceled, or scheduled to not appear for quite some time.
If i never seen one it could very well mean it was never produced. If anybody has pictures of the ones i could not find sofar, or even better knows one for sale please let me know on news@ebbropremium.nl.

The red 911RS i got is a pretty rare sight also. I could buy one but never saw it earlier.
I also saw pictures of a 911RS in white with blue text and a orange 911RS.
But i didn't buy those then, wich i am regretting a bit right now. Even tough i have no idea wich production numbers match those.
*Update* I did buy those two when they came around again. Look a bit below on this page for pictures.




Also the S800 RSC has never been released by Ebbro. I did manage to get one, but this is probably a pre-production sample.
If you look close it is possible to see it is a modified S800 Roadster. At the place were the mirrors have been, and at the old position of the fuelcap.
Modifications are really nice, there is a new hood, rims and brakes are upgraded, and the exhaust is completely different. Plus there are some racing seats inside.




There also is a Honda S800 Coupé in red.



Wich is very nice, as the roof is made of metal and the back opens.
Only the number plate seems to be missing at the front.


Anybody else have seen one of these? I did encounter another example on the internet with a numberplate to the front. But they remain a rare sight.

I also bought a nice Midnight Purple NSX, of wich the colors don't really come out without sunlight.



And with a bit of sun.





Not sure were it fits in, but it is a very nice model.

Also uncertain is the origin of these two Porsche 911 2.7 RS variations.
One is orange, the other white but instead of red with blue markings and rims.





The seller assured me they are non modified cars and pre-release versions of cars Ebbro might launch.
I am not sure, but if they are modified cars than there was more than enough time spend into the work to justify their price.
At the moment i am contacting Ebbro to find out if they could be the real deal, or the product of some private enthousiast.

And as a nice line-up here are all the Ebbro 1:24 Porsches i have.






From the Nissan Skyline R32 there also is a version wich is produced with Tomica cooperation. And it looks a lot like the 24028 and 24030 R32's i got.
Both the 24028 and 24030 i only knew from the 2007 catalog, and i was able to buy them altough i never saw them before or after that.




Plus there is a Skyline silhouette racer version. All seem to be produced in the same factory.

Tomica/TomyTec.

Tomica	Nissan	Skyline R32 Reebok	White	Yes
Tomica	Nissan	Skyline RS Silhouette	Red	Yes
Tomica	Nissan	Skyline RS Silhouette '83	Red	Yes

In the oddities department we got a 1/32 scale model of the TDF-PO1 pointer from Ultraman. Wich is an old  japanese science-fiction show.
I came across a model of this car which has the same packaging as the ebbro/tommytec cars above and the markings of MMP (ebbro's mother company.)
The car used in the serie was a heavily modified Chrysler Imperial Crown.
I also came across two Honda Odyssey cars in 1/24 wich look to be for Chinese car dealers. If anybody knows more feel free to contact me on news@ebbropremium.nl .
Also if you know if there are other cars in this scale (1/24) build by Ebbro/MMP/Tomica, thank you for your time!

Oddities.

MMP	Chrysler	1958 Imperial Crown	Silver	Yes (1/32 scale)
MMP	Honda	2002 Odyssey	Satin Silver	Yes
MMP	Honda	2002 Odyssey	Metallic Green	Yes

Tenshodo ( 天賞堂 ).

And we have one more car to list. It is a Tenshodo ( 天賞堂 ) Honda RA300, made from brass and the detail is amazing as is the packaging.
The scale is 1/20 just like the ebbro premium F1 cars, so i think it is a nice addition to the list. It was made in 1989 and there are 500 numbered copies.










Very soon i will update with the ebbro resin 1:43 honda historical F1 cars.
For now just some overview pictures.















Thanks for reading, and i hope i am making some people notice this great serie of model cars, since there are very few places to actualy read about them.
Pictures of the cars i got are available on the links in the listings.

Interesting links:

Hobby Search, a Japanese shop also putting the Chrysler and the Tomica R32 with the ebbro premium products, listing a lot of the bikes also.


The Tenshodo RA300, and some other featured pictures were made by Remko Moos. The better looking ones are his, i made the older goofy ones.
