Couple paint scratches above front left wheel. Need to work with Tamiya polish wax over it I think.

I noticed my Audi RS4 Avant came with Quality Control inspection card (more details to come in review). Did you yours? Honestly if you email them they will take care of you.

Risky colour! The black rims help though

Nice! This was my very first AUTOart model and it really opened up the flood gates.

Finally managed to buy one of my holy grail models. One that I've had my eye on for a while and doesn't seem to pop up on eBay all too often. Its the 1:18 Hot Wheels Elite Maserati MC12 in brand new mint condition! I paid £80 including postage from Slovenia in Europe to here in the UK. I think all I've seen have been going for £100+ since I started looking for this model. Do you guys think its a good price or not??

Congrats!

No clue if it's a good deal, I'm assuming it is. But did you know that Autoart is making one soon?

Yeah, I read about that, but I'm guessing that Hot Wheels lost the license to make this model as well (dunno if that's true or not), so could prove to push up its value. And as with pretty much every AA announcement, who actually knows when it'll arrive lol

The Hot Wheels Elite elite piece is very decent, I know I had one... I think the big miss with the model is the wrong diameter of wheels (though I like the looks of the Hot Wheels Elite) and lack of opening bits front and rear.
