Yes it’s great model, well done. Very nice and unique color, pretty close actually to the red Huyara from AA.

Only thing is the paint is bit thicker and darker at panel edges so it makes the panel gaps look wider than they are.

I just received my white LC500.. pretty blown away with the composite and how different it is with AutoArt's earlier counterparts such as the P1 or 6x6.. Needless to say, I bought another one in a different color to compliment the white better.

The Acura was from Replicarz bad box sale so definitely well worth it

Nice add. Was this one on sale too? I've seen the latest banter on the livery version.

No sale on this type but I bought it a bit cheaper anyway.

I got the Vitaphone Racing one at modelissimo for €100. Strangely the prices have gone up after, first to €129, then to €150 and now €200!

It seems the price goes up as they reduce the redundant inventory. Both presentation and race version have been reviewed here. I have the presentation in my collection for number of years now. Very good piece!

Yes and it says a lot about their margins on Autoart models...

I'm sure CK lost money on these. Unless AUTOart was funding the discount to European distributors, which was passed on to retailers

My P1 came today. It looks okay, except for the fit issue with the engine bonnet, along the roof behind the driver's side door.

I'm expecting another car tomorrow, and another within the next week. I also preordered something from Topspeed, but have no idea when that's coming. I sold a 918, Aventador SV, Gallardo Superleggera, Maisto LaFerrari and 911 Speedster, and a pair of Bluetooth headphones for some space and money.

Loving this colour. Sorry to hear about the short comings.
