Looking for advice regarding Mustang 2015 1:18 diecast models
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2020 4:50 pm
Hello everyone,
I know very little about diecast models myself, which is why I would like to ask some advice about a model I'd like to buy as a gift for my father. The model I'm looking for is a Mustang 2015, preferably dark grey or black. He owns the convertible version of the actual car, but I've already googled for diecast models of the convertible for years hoping for it to be available some day, but it doesn't seem like any manufacturer is ever going to make these, so I decided I'll just buy a hard top version.
I've been looking around and found two nice models (see URLs below), although the difference in price is significant. One is around $60 (Maisto) and the other is around $400 (AUTOart). I'm willing to buy the more expensive one, conditioning that the higher price is really worth it of course, because with my untrained eye it's difficult to see/know what the actual differences are. My dad already has three models of older Mustangs of the brands Shelby Collectibles Inc, Welly and Maisto. I'm aware that the model by AUTOart is a different version (Shelby), but I don't think my dad would mind since one of the older models he has is also a Shelby.
Sorry if I come off as a newby, any advice would be highly appreciated!
