"Features closed-body design" What kind of Orwellian newspeak is this? "Design" is required to make a model's parts open. No "design" at all is required to make them inoperable and closed. But I suppose he manufacturers wouldn't take it kindly if he said, "FrontiArt has released another sealed resin...

The Koenigsegg CCX in orange. I got back into diecast after 20 years away because I wanted that model. AUTOart took their sweet time releasing it.

The thing weighs barely 2000 pounds.

I saw that figure from an Evo mag writeup. They said the turbos are adjustable, and that with higher boost, it can make more than the stated 650 bhp. (That's more than an Enzo, BTW, and way more than an F40.) Here's an article: http://www.stanceworks.com/2013/09/one-of-five-the-ferrari-288-gto-evolu...

It's also maybe the fastest Ferrari ever made: top speed over 230 mph.

One of the ugliest Ferraris ever, but this model looks very accurate to me. They captured the shape perfectly, unlike the Jouef version.

Big old paint blister or casting defect on the front boot cover of that P1 GTR.

that is a spectacular green.

"Yeah, I took your money and didn't do what I promised, but it's not my problem anymore because I sold your model and the contract to someone else when I sold my company."

Fraud.

Note: "John" with an H.

i sent PayPal to your personal address, John. I don't have my money back, nor my model.

I have no idea what you did with your business, whether you sold it to someone or not. But if you did, that is a very odd way of making your customers whole and happy.

Um, I paid this fellow $300 and sent him a black 1:18 AUTOart Koenigsegg CCX for him to paint green for me and make telephone-dial wheels for.

Now I have neither my model nor my money. John, I don't want to quarrel with you, but do you have any plans to finish that job? It's been at least 6 years.

Lovely color! I often wonder why manufacturers don't offer awesome colors like this.

"... and features closed-body design..."

No, sorry. That is a deficiency, not a feature.
