WOW. Congratulations Cyrus. How does you think the Autoart quality compares to Maisto and the other brands? Do you plan to switch to Autoart/Kyosho from now on?

Rightly said - Autoart quality is slightly different as compared to Maisto plus colours are better. They are indeed very expensive as i just have one Autoart Mad Max Interceptor and it costed me way over 5K. Thats quite a lot.

BTW does anyone know the way to Autofest Coty in Mysore. I would be in Bangalore next weekend and would love to check out on the place. Its a damn neat exhibition of scale model cars.

The gift center I presume? Rs. 4 to 5K?

Dont worry, i wont mod this one. Gift Centre has one nice MotorMax 7 series, if anyone is interested. He also has a rare Maisto 911 Speedster Turbo.
