deja-view Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Even the better known makers like Autoart/Minichamps and GMP have put out some questionable cars. I've had my eye on a Minichamps Jaguar XJR GT3 with nice livery, but it has no opening panels or engine....and they still want $100 for it. Recently, I've seen a few others of high name brand with the same situation: nice looking but no real detail. And, some are far more expensive than $100. So, while the quality of the bodies, paint, and trim have gotten better it seems like a lot of cost cutting without price reduction is going on. OTH: I did pick up a Nissan R390 by AutoArt that is incredibly detailed and very well finished. A litlle more pricey, but at least it shows a lot of effort in its build and quality. I think Sunstar started slow, but has obviously elevated its game.
