Fantastic model by Autoart. It was around $150 shipped on ebay. Definitely a nice addition! Other colors are available in yellow white matte grey and this black but I think only black one comes with dual interior tone. Enjoy!

I used to be a big diecast collector (as you can see in my profile picture) but the price compared to quality has been not very fair recently. I am big fan of AutoArt but they are replacing all the diecast model cars to a thing called "composite abs model" basically plastic model cars with diecast frame to cut down costs. I was like okay that mean I spend less money on model cars so I wasn't too sad about diecast models going away. I think one of the first composite Autoart released was the alfa romeo 4c and everything seemed fine and decent with fairly "low price" of $110. Then they started to come out with lamborghinis, ferraris, and a lot of other very popular models. I know that licensing costs a lot of money for toy manufactures, but they can't ask for $150 for model cars that only has opening doors... for example the gt86 rocket bunny only has opening doors and priced at $150 after shipping... That is just not making sense... They also started to release more race cars with same functionality (doors only). Funny thing is their quality control is rubbish as well. I've had more defects than perfectly fine models... I think one of the model that I bought last was the aston martin vanquish and as expected the quality was BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and I don't think they were putting much effort into paint jobs and had scratches like they weren't clear coated... After returning them, I jumped into scale modeling like tamiya kits or equivalent. It took less room and also customizable it took some time to build but I appreciated them a lot more than diecast cars becauase "I built them" as long as they came out without any mistakes lol but anyways that is my POV on diecast models. cheers.

Thanks for checking out. This build was very fast and easy also Tamiya's part separation was truly amazing and left literally almost no work to the modeler. Definitely recommended and will build another one in yellow in the future! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures! Go subscribe to my channel for more! Cheers,
