Decent model from AUTOart. More accurate than the Hot Wheels Elite release.

It is great, but not perfect. It is slighty less expensive than the AUTOart and for achieving that, they did some slight cost cutting. The grills on the sides are not perforated, neither are the ones in the bonnet. Also the panel gap of the Bonnet is slighty too big I think. And there are (small) doglegs on the bootlit. I rather had they just went the extra mile, made it the same price as the AUTOart and made it as good as they could.

Don't get me wrong, the model is very capable, especially the interior is wonderfull, the paint work is superb, everything functions perfect, wheels and brakes are very nice etc. But for some reason, it's not 100%, it's 99%.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll post my impressions of the AUTOart in full review ASAP.

Next buy wasn't on the top of my list, but at 99 euro's at CK-modelcars, I couldn't say no. It's the Nissan Fairlady Z432 from AUTOart. Nice, solid model.The car itself is probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I like old Japanese cars.

In the same package from CK was the AUTOart Delorean DMC-12. It's a new release from a older model. It's made from composite this time. I'm not familiar with the original release, but this new release is pretty nice.

A classic, one, no car fan should be without in their collection. I was lucky enough to score one of the rare diecast metal cars.

Welcome back everyone!

In the time the forum was off the air, I did a lot of shopping, but apart from 1, it has been pre-orders. The one that wasn't a pre-order is another expansion of the japanese cars in the collection. It's the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 made by AUTOart. It's a slighty modified version, with BBS wheels and bucket seats.

Yesterday, this model arrived. I told myself to stop buying sealed models a while ago, but this specific Alfa GTV6 looks to good to let go and will never be made with opening parts anyway. Made by Ottomobile.

Still, keeps you willing to take a look at that glorious V6 under that bonnet....

I love the style of this classic Euro car. I'm sure you saw our recent photos. No many brands would make this one in scale, thanks OttOmobile!

Yes I saw them. Made me pre-order this model for the 2nd production run. My favourite shop told me, that they had not produced all 1500 yet at the time and more was to come in June or July.

Love OttOmobile for thinking outside the box!
