Maisto’s 1:55 (approx) Acura RSX is from their Excess Tuner series. The cars have bodykits and an aftermarket rear spoiler. Flashy graphics are on the side of the car. The bottoms are casted with “Acura RSX”, “Maisto” and “Made in China” with an reasonably correct undercarriage layout.
This rare model is casted in pewter and hand detailed by craftsmen in Malaysia. Made of 97% pewter, this Honda NSX weighs about 2 kg. It comes on a wooden base with an identifying plaque “NSX 97% pewter” and a glass cover. It has no bottom and is essentially hollow, though the pewter is about 5-10mm thick throughout. The proportions are accurate and the detail is good considering what it’s made of.
Obtained from a Honda dealer in Malaysia in 1995, my understanding is that this was a custom commission for the introduction of the NSX in Malaysia. This may be the rarest NSX collectible in existence.
