Really like the Charger. I don't own any Autoworld models....what are they like?
Like the pics, too.

Re: Playcars - 1:18 collection
Thanks for the visit Philip. Are many variations of Autoworld models. The models made using the ERTL Elite moulds are very nice. Smooth paint, detailed and carpeted interior, functional suspension, wired engine and realistic hinges for the front bonnet. The usual models look great, too, but you'll find poor engine, no active suspension, huge dog-legs hinges everywhere. A big problem for this models is the QC. Is better to see the models before buying, because scratches or glue residues are usual.

Thanks for the info. Food for thought...

Nice photos!

Beautiful, just beautiful. The Ghibli and Indy are 2 of my favourite Maseratis of all time. I never knew Minichamps produced a 1/18 Ghibli.
That's another one now on my radar!

That Ghibli looks great. They released it kind of quietly and it seems like no one knows the model exists. It's a bit quiet for my collection of loud mouthed race cars and such, but maybe I can put it next to the Espada some day

If I'm not mistaken it was released many years ago. Is colour new?StratosWRC wrote:That Ghibli looks great. They released it kind of quietly and it seems like no one knows the model exists.

Re: Playcars - 1:18 collection
Thanks everyone for comments !
The model is around 8-9 years old and it was released in blue and black for the Coupe version. Now the blue one is rare and expensive. Like a proof of the superior craftsmanship of the old PMA models, Ghibli is extremely detailed: detailed and wired engine, perforated grills, carpeted interior, great details on the dash, functional pop-up lights.
