3x Hot Hatches (Clio RS, VW MK6 GTI, Focus RS)

Hi All
I recently decided to start collecting hot hatches in 1:18 scale. The hot hatch scene where I'm from is pretty big and I am a huge fan. I just wish that there would be more of them produced in 1:18 scale, like Audi RS3, VW MK7 Golf R, Opel OPC/VXR, BMW M135i etc.
The models in this shoot are:
Ford Focus RS (Minichamps)
Renault Clio RS 197 (Solido)
VW Golf GTI MK6 (Norev)
In my opinion, the Norev GTI is the best model of the 3. It is great value for money and the details are quite nice.
I was a bit disappointed with the Focus RS. This is my first Minichamps model and for the price, it is not up to standard. I was expecting it to be much better than the other 2 models in terms of details, but it isn't. I really like the 1:1 RS and no one else makes this car in 1:18 scale so that's the reason I decided to get it.
Lastly, the Clio. I picked up this model for a good price. It was the same price as the Maisto and Bburago models at my local hobby shop. I am impressed with this model. The exterior looks great and the details are not very far off the other 2 models.
Here are the pics...All feedback welcome
