Just bought this V92C 1:18 scale model "used" on Ebay for a song, in the black/gray color of my 2000 C. The description claimed made by Maisto. I thought Yat Ming made the only V92C models and they've been sold out for years. I don't recall the Yat Mings ever being made in black/gray though.

One of the models in Roadkill's photo albums is also black/gray, but its not annotated. :rightgun:

Has any of you ever heard of a Maisto Vic?

......also got this wall clock on Ebay. Gonna dress up the house a bit.

+Steve, these are the discontinued Yat Ming 1:18-scale models once available from their Road Signature/Bike section:

I wasn't aware Maisto had a version of a Victory. I haven't visited the toy car aisles at WalMart in a while, where I got the "toys in the attic" toys over time. (GREAT quality stuff for only a couple'a bucks!)

I'll need to look for the captioning. I thought I'd already captioned ~1/2 of the "toys" content (unless I'm confusing it with having labeled my file data).

Ride on.

+btw, the clock I bought on eBay's got more of a white face. (I'll have to take a picture for comparison.)

Dirt cheap and plenty happy again!

Ride on.

Thanks Tim.

Looks like the same model on a different base. I didn't find any Vics at the Maisto website......could be the seller made a mistake, or maybe its a rebranded Yat Ming. If theres a brand name on the base I'll post when I receive it.
