spanner Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I couldn't resist the temptation and pulled the trigger on one of these beauties! 1:18 AUTOart McLaren MP4-12c in the orange. Had wanted one for a while but thought they were a bit expensive.. Yeah probably was a bit more than I would normally be happy to pay but they are quite a beautiful thing so what the heck eh! Besides its only money and you only live once.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have the exact same one... you'll not regret it. Do you also have an example of their F1s? I've got one in Platinum Silver and the detail on it is jaw-dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one in Platinum Silver and the detail on it is jaw-dropping. Im actually very pleased I finally bit the (rather expensive) bullet and bought one! I much prefer the 12c over the current 500, 600 series cars. Yes I do have a McLaren F1! in black! It should be visible in the photo I posted.. When I bought it, it was listed as new never used but when it arrived I found it had dust on it and an exhaust tip was missing so I fashioned my own from a rivet, painted it to match and glued it on. The seller still gave me a 25% refund so I was pretty chuffed in the end. I was originally after a white or the silver but the black came up at a price I couldn't resist so I got that one instead. My cousin has a white one and its majestic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet! I need one of those. Only wish it actually changed shape like in the comics. Thanks for the insight on those GT Spirits, Mechanic and spanner! I'll just pass on them all for now, oh well. Nice Mclarens too! I just saw a P1 in person over the weekend, very nice. F1 is definitely my favorite all time Mclaren though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I like that... the RA box art shows brilliant white missiles yet the actual parts themselves they have a pinkish tone to them.. curse you Arcadia, curse you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea after getting the 19P i realized i should get the F as it was the only one I was missing. Given the current state of Macross toys (Arcadia only playing it safe, Bandai busy with HMR & DX Mac Delta) It might be a while before we see toys like the 19F and P in 1/60 scale if ever. That being said the colors of the 19F are much much better in person, I do like the head sculpt better on the S, but the white stripes on blue are just beautiful and they won me over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 whilst searching for something else I stumbled across this at a price I couldn't refuse! yeah its second hand but still in perfect condition apparently. Autoart Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Super Trofeo. Ultimately I'd have probably preferred the orange but the yellow still looks pretty bloody good! photos are for illustration purposes only and do not belong to me.. mine is yet to arrive of course.

mechaninac Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Gorgeous! And so the stable grows... To this day I have never purchased any yellow vehicles... that has to be remedied some day. The Gallardo in my collection, a regular LP560-4... AUTOart of course, is Monterey Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely model no doubt! Its a very nice blue isn't it! Before I found the Super Trofeo I nearly pulled the trigger on the Italian Polizia version which is a lighter shade of blue. But im glad my path of discovery led to the yellow one! Who knows maybe I'll still get the police car version down the track.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want Shatterstar! Saw them in person last night at a specialty shop but not paying the markup. Meanwhile, I think I might have secured an HMR Dougram for myself, finally.
