This channel discusses the various diecast cars and models I have. Most all of the cars I have in my collection I have seen in person, and I will also discuss the stories of the cars I have seen.
Nice comparison on both models and HW did a better job at detailing than Bburago. I'm still confused on my own Hot Wheels 1/18 Testarossa because the interior is the same as to the Bburago model in the video even though it wasn't from a Hot Wheels Elite category.
Higher end Bburago? I have both. The one with standard packaging and the higher end packaging/display one (the one you have). The cars are identical. The difference is the presentation, unless I got ripped off. LOL. I also just got the Looksmart version, which blows Bburago away.
It's very sharp, and the Bond tie in is always cool. I've been looking for one of these at a good price for a while now, and they're expensive on Ebay. I finally did find one that was affordable that has a small scratch on the left gas cap and no box for $100. That's not even cheap I know, that's a lot of money, but compared to what people are asking I can live with no box and a small flaw cause I wasn't ready to spend $200 or $300 so I compromised. The model is very clean the flaw is small, and for the price I don't care about the box. It's not yet but soon will be displayed.
I have gotten a few models with minor flaws and they do not detract from my enjoyment of the models. You'll enjot it because it is a very handsome model.
@@chucksdiecastcarandmodelre5172 I think so too, if you pay top dollar for something you want it flawless, but if you find a bargain, and you have satisfied yourself it will display well, it's a great way to fill in the collection and not break the bank. Most of us collectors aren't rich, so we have to collect a little at a time and try to find good deals along the way. My collection has a couple I paid a premium for, and a couple I got cheap, like my Beanstalk Green Jag from Die Another Day, not a great Bond film but a damn nice Bond car, with all kinds of hidden weapons, got it newish with no box on Ebay for $10. They're always way cheap on Ebay, but that was way way way cheap, lol.
@@chucksdiecastcarandmodelre5172 Here's a crazy story. So the guy that shipped me this model (without a box) somehow broke off the right side view mirror before packing it up. I couldn't believe it, so I wrote and told the seller about it and he gave me a full refund of $136 total and said keep the model. That was surprising, so I found a guy that knew a guy that makes 3D printed diecast parts and got a set of two replacement mirrors already in black. So somehow I ended up with this wonderful model for free and now I've got all 6 of the AutoArt James Bond cars, and that FINALLY includes this very beautiful and elusive unofficial Bond car. One more thought, I really like that it has the door window because it keeps the interior from getting really dusty, I wish more diecast cars were this way.
CMC make beautiful models, not all of their subjects are my taste, in my mind Auto Art models are just as good, they might not have the same weight but have all the detail, if sparks put the same attention to detail that they put into their 1.43 scale cars i think they would come out on top.
Lovely thing. What a great model! You must really get the feeling it's the real thing. Lets the imagination run free. Love the ashtray and lack of seatbelts. So much more civilised. I've got a couple of SWB in 43rd scale. As time goes by I appreciate the look of the SWB more and more. Classy car. Obviously tbe GTO seems to get all the plaudits, but the predecessor is beautiful too. And was just as successful in racing.
I do love SWBs, but if given the option in real life I would go for a 275 GTB. I think it’s just beautiful. I hope to get the CMC model of that, but they are so pricey!
The one in For your eyes only was in dark Red or Bronze bodypanels. I didn,t like that they destroyed that Bond car and it was atwinturbo as well... i think
Got this one on the budget wish list! I remember when the actual car was released and it's chiseled lines inspired by the F22 Raptor. The color giving that extra stealthy look. Great review.
I like it that you show older cheap models we owned as a kid in the 90's - 2000's. Im sad I missed the Autoart E-Type when it was around 250 euro, now they sell 400+ , so I probably will never own a good e-type 1/18 scale :( Kyosho is already overpriced (250 euro now) and seems bad next to the AutoArt version
6:40. 😂😂 Not for the C9 in a long straight line Im assume 😊. Thx for the vid, I didn't even know AutoArt did a xjr 9 , I tried to chase an exoto , could t find a cheap one...now I will look for an AutoArt, probably expensive to..😢
i bought this one in red in St Louis 1993 I think. It was also the first diecast I ever bought. wish i still had it. it was poorly fit together up close but looked right from a distance. just wonder how you got such a glossy looking finish?
Definitely not the most detailed model for sure, but it's hard to find a nicer opening model that's reasonable. I think all the crud that was on it protected the paint ;-). I used Windex and a cotton ball to clean it and it came out pretty nice.
Spectacular model and video. Thanks for sharing.....I do love the exhaust pipes, engine etc.....Great PU. Congrats. PS: How do they change the rear wheels?
Thank you very much for the nice review. You can't really see it on the model because of the paint thickness but there is a removable semicircular wheel cover over the rear tires.
And what do you mean no Camel brand on it to be legal? Do you mean from a standpoint of AutoArt and the real one has Camel on or you mean the real one doesn't have it to? (Possibly because sponsering contract ended, but they kept color design). Thank you very much btw for this presentation. Greetings from Belgium
I looked at photos of the car from the Japanese GP and it had the Lotus markings and not Camel, so it appears that Japan banned cigarette advertising by this time.
OmG, I never know AutoArt had made f1 cars from 80-90's. How come I never saw them? Im always on eBay and online shops looking around what they got. AutoArt impresses me everytime with their older models. Im assuming this model was produced somewhere between 2008 and 2015 , a signature model?
Very nice!! I have seen this model before, but didn't buy one. Now that you have shown the engine compartment, I'm in love with it. I should have bought it last time.
Autoart better and more refine, I have the kyosho SV one , same as this in this video , but its the second release, not better then 1st release, some little costs mesures in quality of materials sadly. But still nice model, the Autoart version is quiet better and more premium but not by far
Who really gives a sod how good the interior is when you dont notice them when there in a showcase. its how the exterior of the car compares with the real car, that's what I think matters.
