I have wanted it for a long time. There's nothing else like it in my collection (which is why it belongs :D).
Very cool, I'd like to get one of these for my brother as he's a big fan of the games.

OTTO 1:18 Subaru STI, bad lighting here makes the model look damaged but it's fine.

Got a few "budget" models to practice modifying. The two Norev 930s will get new wheels/tires and I might try painting the others, not sure yet.

In a sentence? Better than expected.

I got them both on sale and I expected them to be imperfect, cheap feeling models with defects all over as they are the first KK models I have, but they are genuinely good models, especially when you consider other sealed models can go for double the price with more glaring defects. They may not fit into most people standards of collecting, but they are perfectly suitable for what I want them for.

Nicely summarized. I have 5 KKs (4 Ferraris & 1 Lambo)....all models, except the 288GTO that haven't been done in 1:18 before. I like them a lot & really like the models they're releasing.

If anything they are great placeholders if the model doesn't exist elsewhere. I think the 2 KK models I got, both different year 911 SCs, don't exist in 1/18 anywhere else. Might be wrong on that.

It's hard to nit-pick quality for cheap models, for sure, but I've seen some KKs that I don't think look correct at a glance regardless of the price, for example, the 3.2 Carrera Clubsport and Ferrari F40 have incorrect wheels/ fitment. Course, still a good bargain for less serious collectors or fans of the cars. :rockon:

Thanks for the info. I agree with good placeholders if and when something better comes along. Maybe I need to rethink my purchases from them
