I used to buy a Maisto earlier but now, maisto feels boring & dull in front of Autoart. I thought of getting it shipped from a friend but still the prices are high outside India. For instance i bought Lancer Evo IX in 1000 bucks but the site mention 35$ which is abt 1500 bucks. Can you please ask the person from Modelart, Bngalore whether they hace the following models? 1.Mazda RX-8 2.Maybach 57 S 2005 3.Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-SPEC-II 4.Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 Plain Body Version all in 1:43 scale models. Or else can you give me his number? Because Modelart, Delhi doesnt have these models. :( | |

BANNED | ![]() none as good as Auto Art - even Kyosho doesnt quite cut it, as compared to Auto Art as per my impression. A few other good ones are Corgi, Vanguards, Solido, MiniChamps, Edison Giacattoli. Indeed I would rate these similar to Bburago which is cerainly better than Maisto. While these are certainly better than Maisto they also dont quite have the same level of finesse as Auto Art has. |

I have a BMW M3 Convertible 1:18 from Kyosho & it is damn gorgeous. Also i have a model of Audi Q7 1:43 which i bought from AutoExpo '08 from the Audi stall. It is very detailed. Easily comparable to Autoart. The make is Ichuco. Never heard of it before or come across on web. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have a AutoArt Mercedez Benz Pullman S600 and its detailing is mindboggling , BUT its build left me unimpressed. Its mirrors,wipers and emblem are not upto the standards expected from AA. I dont know whether this problem is with my particular model. I have a Franklin Mint model which is much better made. |

Also the build quality is brilliant. I have seen Franklin models, but i did not find their detailing as good as Autoart's. Quote:

BANNED | ![]() here are some additions made today: Jag SS100 - Signature - 1:28 - i love the car - im not so hot on the quality though - feels a bit plasticky though it looks rather nice. Matchbox Morgan Aeromax Matchbox Porsche Carrera 911 Matchbox Bentley Continental Matchbox Lotus 2008 Matchbox TVR Tuscan Matchbox Jeep Wrangler Maisto VW Beetle Tomy Digger Diecast (cheap but good quality) Tomy Roadroller Diecast (cheap but good quality) Tomy Fire Engine Diecast (cheap but good quality) Tomy Tipper Truck Diecast (cheap but good quality) followed by 2 more pics of the same Jag SS100. also saw a Merc 170 and a Pierce Arrow and a Duesenberg - Signature - wasnt really inspired enough to buy them though. I saw a couple of nice auto art models - one of which I will probably pick up tomorrow since it is a great cult car - Corvette Stingray. Auto Art Bangalore also has a 1:43 Jag XJ13, Jac C Type, XJ 8 - well worth buying for any enthusiast - Ive already got all these from auto art so I didnt pick them up - they are all at the old price of 995 each.
