The Honda Civic EG (1996-1999) in hatchback form. Maisto’s Civic EG Hatchback in approximately 1:55 scale came in red and in blue in various packaging. Carded versions are rare – especially the Road & Track version.
Summer Toys released the 1992 Civic Hatchback in approximately 1:54 scale in various colors. While these castings don’t have a lot of detail, they come in many variations of color and tampo designs and are rather rare in mint or near mint condition.
The Civic EG body style was available from 1996 – 1999.
The ’96 Honda Civic was modeled in the Import Heat and Street Freaks series of 1/64 diecasts over 3 series in various colors and graphic designs.
The red and white “Import Heat” blister card packages.
A carved wooden model of the NSX in 1:14. Front and rear logos painted on. Obtained from an artisan in France. Currently, aware of only 2 in existence – the other in the hands of a collector in Japan.
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.

AUTOart produced the 1/18 rendering of Honda’s Integra Type R (DC5), in 3 different colors – blue, black and Championship White from the Japanese Domestic Market. The model features opening hood, hatch and doors – with incredible detail at its price point when released in 2004.
AUTOart also released the DC5R in 1/43 and 1/64 with fewer operating features.
A related, Mugen version of the DC5 Integra Type R was also released by AUTOart in 1/18.

AUTOart has done it again! This time, in releasing the most accurate 1:43 scale mass produced model to date! The level of detail in this Honda Integra Type R is better than many 1:18 scale cars. This model comes in Black, in Blue and in White. The cars come in nice blue and black windowed card boxes with a clear case and angled black base.
