I do not know this company but I see from time to time on Ebay, is this a good quality, you can compare it to what?
I do not have the above model yet, but based on photos it looks sharp. I have a passion for unique cars, concept fits the bill :D

China Model refers to Chinese specific market model. They are usually top quality, see my photos of the Volkswagen Polo, I'd say as good if not better than Kyosho. Honestly they most likely come from the same factory, lol.

I got a Ferrari Calafornia from someone. It is a Hot Wheels Production. It is not a bad model!

Way cool Brain. That car deserves a 1:18 scale in Diecast form, AA are you listening!

How was the show overall? Any pics? News?

This is the first time I went to this show in the last 5 years!
I have been this show for 4-5 time before, however I have found it seems like a second hand
flea market more than a show. 80% of the items are cheap and klunky,
Smalll scale toy cars, only a few of the 1/18 diecast.

I went to the show this year because it moved to a new place, I thought it would has more fun and items for sale .
But I am wrong, it is worse than before, I only found two sellers have the Autoart and kyosho models, a few old models,
Aa MR2, kyosho 575gtc etc,
I only stayed for less than 20min, didn't take any pictures,
I am not suggest the 1/18 collectors to go to such kind of show,
It's just waste time.

Thanks for the info. I haven't attended a show in a number of years, but my experience was basically the same.

I got this in a while ago, but I've been patiently saving up for it for a long time.

The model looks significantly better in person. Got it for $179 with shipping on eBay.
