forthlin Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm looking to buy a 1966 Chevelle diecast. Ertl's seem to be a quality, but pricey one. I don't know anything about Classic metal works other than they look good in pictures & they're not as expensive. Are they as high grade as Ertl or Danbury mint or a cheapy like Maisto?

THarrison351 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Some kits and diecasts are better than Maisto. I have built and detailed a few. I think the Chevelle is an CMW original. Several are unbuilt Welly diecasts. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mike , seriously, Classic metal works is never going to be one of the "Mints " . However , with that said , they actually manufacture a decent product and they're a GREAT value for the dollar . I have several of the Classic metal Works cars as some subjects , ie 1941 Chevrolet Convertible is well done and looks nice built from a kit .

george 53 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Mike, I have that kit in Marina Blue. It's a nice kit, it has dogleg door hinges, and the engine is a top only type of one peice engine cover, but for what I paid for it, I think it came out pretty nice. It IS a nice lookin model when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Mike I recently built their '55 Olds kit which turned out pretty nice. The engine area is a little lacking in detail but overall it builds up to a nice looking car. The scale on mine is 1/26 but the size difference is not great from 1/25.
