AUTOart DBS Superleggera – Jet Black

This was a tough decision, but I chose the Jet Black. Love the paly with Silver wheels and the Red accent bits in the interior. Plus I don't have many "black" models in my collection :okay:

Good to hear. I really enjoy their models. Looks like they are well on their way on winning another DS award :clap:

They are getting a little pricey, but I like the subject matter for the most part.

I dropped a hefty investment on my two latest... considering both were imported..lol. I can't figure out how to upload photos here..lol. But I got the Autoart Honda NSX-R (NA2) in the insanely gorgeous Long Beach blue pearl. Also just received my Motorhelix diecast Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 Z-Tune in the equally amazing Midnight Purple with the additional drivetrain and cherry picker display.

I missed out on the latest gen due to listening in NA, not going to miss this one. Leaning towards the white as I have Red and Yellow of the earlier releases from AUTOart.

As for photos, quite easy. Read below:

Eh I got the same NSX and the blue is a bit much In my opinion. Wish they'd turned it down a bit. It almost looks like candy blue. Don't think the 1:1 colour is quite that intense.

Here's a pic of mine

1:1

Motorhelix messed up the purple as well. It's a nice metallic purple but not midnight purple. Not to mention no Z tune was ever painted MNP1. Only one was repainted MNP3, which I made a replica of. But no MNP1 Z-tune exists and if it did, it wouldn't look like this.

Motorhelix:

Image

Actual MNPI, which is so dark that it looks almost black unless in bright light

Image

The only midnight purple III Z-tune

Image

And here's the one I repainted in similar lighting

Image

Weird that a company like Motorhelix can't get the colour right
