Tickford T3 Scales Models...

**Grunter** · 06-01-2005, 02:58 PM

Has anyone come across any scale models (Biante, etc) of the Series 3 TS50 and/or TE50?

I've only found the Series 1 TS50 and was hoping to get a hold of a T3 TS50 model (in black :yeees: ).

philbie might be a good man to PM on this....

Pretty sure they are only out in 1:43. If there were 1:18 ones I'd have a Series 3 TS50 in no time!

Very interested to know this as well. I have a 1:43 scale model of a AU1 TS50 (in Black) and would love a 1:43 scale model of the AUIII TS50 or AUIII Pursuit so I could use the wheels of it to make a replica of my very own TS50... :1syellow1

i havent seen one yet, but im sure they must be around somewhere

Psycho Chicken · 06-01-2005, 07:30 PM

Oh, not reading, T3, not sure if they are even out in 1:43.

I'm with you Grunter ... would love to get hold of a 1:12 TE50 III in Silhouette.

sbutler · 06-01-2005, 08:45 PM

Count me in!! I;ll have one.....

RSgerry · 06-01-2005, 11:38 PM

as far as i am aware, only the series one t-series cars were available. seeing as the AU generally wasnt that popular, i doubt that anyone will be making one. there are AU XRs about, but most of the effort seems to be going into the BA series Falcons.

i have a suggestion...start collecting Escorts...they are starting to go mad :-)

Looks like Biante only made a 1:43 AU1 TS50 in
Silver, Black and Burgandy

Use the form below to register your interest in a T3
http://www.biante.com.au/merchandiseIWish.cfm

If the demand is there they will make it.

Tornado · 07-01-2005, 03:24 AM

I have just asked for a AUIII TE50
......
Thank you for your Wish!
Your wish has been sent off. If enough interest is shown in the model you have mentioned, the staff at Biante will do what we can to get it produced.

Dez · 07-01-2005, 03:36 AM

i would buy 1...but probably wont...ill send a wish for it just so theres a slightly increased chance it gets made for u guys...

Noddy · 07-01-2005, 10:20 AM

I have sent a few emails to biante over the last 18mths (since i have owned one) about producing a 1:18 scale T3 and the replies I receive back are "we acknowledge your interest in this particular vehicle/model but it is not in our future production lists, although this may change".

So the more emails and inquiries you guys can send them the better the chance we may one day have this model put into production.
The only model that should be considered is 1:18 scale, anything smaller won't cut it in my books and I would much prefer classic collectables to produce one now that I have seen the difference in quality and detail between the two. So i might send some emails to them as well

Tornado · 07-01-2005, 10:34 AM

Yep I have also requested a 1:18 scale model a few times..

Bucknaked · 07-01-2005, 10:38 AM

I requested the TE or TS50 and the S3 XR6. Everything in Black

The Biante 1:43 scale models have orange front indicators on the headlights and a black grill. The series one TS50 has clear indicators on the headlights and a chrome grill. Being picky I know, but...

Dez · 07-01-2005, 01:11 PM

thats not being picky....those orange indicators stand out like dogs................ruins the entire look of the car. :togo:

Philbie · 07-01-2005, 01:16 PM

they will not be producing these at any time in the future - Classic carlectables, may do, but like all things, it's on a demand basis only.

TS50 · 07-01-2005, 02:50 PM

Sigh
I would love a model of the T3
wouldnt care what colour, can always spray it if necessary
but like Philbie said, we got 2 hopes
Buckleys (and not the captain of the best football team) and none

EFFalcon · 07-01-2005, 03:59 PM

my series 1 TE50 has clear indicators and a silver grill.........

sbutler · 07-01-2005, 04:15 PM

I have a T1 that I got from FTe when they were around, very well built, I have seen the other model and It's not as good...But I would get a T3 dosen't matter who built it....

EFFalcon · 07-01-2005, 04:17 PM

grab the series 1... start playing with the clay and make one ;)

XR Martin · 07-01-2005, 04:17 PM

Paradise Garage originally made the AUI TS50s (and EF Futuras!) which were pretty accurate, I think they recently sold the molds to Biante and they arnt nearly as good.

EFFalcon · 07-01-2005, 04:19 PM

haha, speaking of the EF...
thats who stole the wheels!

that EF model looks pretty damn good though. did you need spacers for those rims ? :p

Games World at Northland and Doncaster Shoppingtown in Melbourne had the 1:43 size T series on special for 20 Dollars recently.

Worth a look
