 Apex Replicas New Announcement!

Apex Replicas has now announce the second range of high end detail diecast models the Ford EF and EL Falcon V8 touring cars.
  • 1:18 SCALE
  • DIECAST METAL CONSTRUCTION
  • OPENING DOORS, BONNET, AND BOOT
  • VERY HIGH END DETAIL
These 1:18 scale items will be produced in high detail with opening bonnet, boot, and all 4 doors. The images you see here are of the first ever decorated hand sample of the EF and plain body blue EL. Please note that these are the very first painted hand sample models and not final production items.
Cars such as these that have never before been done in 1:18 scale and have such a large number of different versions that can be produced deserve to be done to the highest standard and using our contacts in China we have enlisted a development team and tool shop that have been responsible for some of the most desirable and high quality models from the last few years to develop the tooling for these items.
In addition to our 1:18 scale EF and EL Falcon’s we will also be producing these cars in 1:43 scale in resin. Our 1:43 scale V8 Supercar models have been extremely popular in the last few years and these are sure to build on the high standard that we have set for ourselves.
We will begin the series with cars run by the iconic Dick Johnson Racing and announce other teams and drivers in the following months. The plan is to release the first DJR car early in 2014 so keep an eye on in the next few weeks for confirmation on the first cars that we will be releasing.
In conjunction with this announcement we have recently managed to get John Bowe and Dick Johnson’s approval to sign the Certificates of Authenticity supplied with each model.

APEX Replicas

APEX has secured a license agreement with Holden and will be rolling out a very impressive range of Holden models in the next few years. The first announcements are the 2012 Holden VE Commodore’s raced by Kelly Racing in Pepsi Max and Jack Daniel’s colours.
Four different models from the 2012 season will be coming later this year, both in 1:18 and 1:43 scale. They will be similar to our existing FG Falcons, in that they are Resin but we have taken what we have learnt with the 1:18 scale FG’s and upgraded the detail in several areas for the 1:18 scale VE’s most notably in the underbody where we now have a separate exhaust pipe and drive line plus more detailed suspension components and rolling wheels.
At this stage the first model that will be released is the Greg Murphy Clipsal VE, and each model thereafter will be spaced out, however the timing is subject to production constraints.

APEX Ford 2013 V8 Supercars from Apex Replicas

Apex Replicas

Announce the first batch of V8 Supercars for the 2013 season and are excited to confirm that our 1:18 scale 2013 V8 Supercars will be produced in diecast. They will have a sealed body with an increase in detail from last season’s cars. All 1:18th’s will have rolling wheels, as well as a lower cost compared to last year’s items.
The 1:43rd’s will remain resin models with a different prefix showing the different material.
Any model with ‘AD’ as the prefix will be made from diecast, and ‘AR’ will be resin.
Our first release will be the four FG Falcon’s (as per images), both cars from DJR, Team JELD-WEN and The Bottle-O Racing Team in 1:18th and 1:43rd scale!
The first batch of 1:43rd’s are due in August, with the 1:18ths close behind in September.
More announcements of the rest of our V8 Supercar lineup for 2013 will be on their way very soon.

The 1:18 will be priced at $150 and the 1:43 will be $70.
