Today I received a new addition to my diecast car collection.

This is up there with the nicest and best models I have ever purchased.

I am hard to impress - but this model blew me away.

It is by Autoart Signature Series and is 1:18 scale (L 10.5" x W 3.5" x H 3").

The entire car is the most detailed diecast car I have ever seen.

The engine compartment and interior are just insane.

I order most of my diecast cars from diecastmodelswholesale.com. They have the best inventory in the world and are right up the freeway in LA. Thus, Fed Ex Ground gets the cars to me by the next day. Their customer service is top notch too.

For those who appreciate this kind of thing, there are pics below.

The box when it arrived.



This is the Autoart box - always a beautiful presentation.



As usual, the car comes packaged very tightly so there is no damage in shipping.



This particular model required some delicate assembly - look at how tiny those screws are!



The engine compartment must have over 2,000 individual parts.



Here are a few of the car fully assembled.







I have always considered these fine diecast models to be works of art.

Thanks for sharing it with me!

 

that is one of the coolest things I have ever seen Dana! I have to have one! Thank you for the write up, it made it much better than "look at these new model pics"

Very, very cool Dana.

I have a few pics scattered around the forum.

Here is are the few I could find.

These are some classic Ferrari race cars.

They are all made by CMC and GMP - the best diecast car model makers in the world.



Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton



And - of course - the most special of all.

This model of a Ferrari 250 Testarosa engine was given to me as a gift from the Team Speed community the Christmas after my motorcycle accident.

I still get tears in my eyes when I think about it.



I have a few more that I don't have pictures of. Mostly F1 cars past and present.

Thanks for asking!!

 

^Awesome! The glass cabinet is perfect.
