    Good by Autoart

    This is the perfect answer to “Autoart, then and now” topic, the shutdown of Autoart “the best of” era and the beginning of a new diecast era, due and thankfully to Almost Real.

    What a fantastic looking model. This is what models should be like. Not what Autoart is doing atm. Cheap overpriced plastic toys. Almost Real’s P1 GTR os another model which makes Autoarts effort look very weak indeed

    Can we buy it in the USA?

    Looks like this model is going for ~320 USD, and there is one listing on ebay right now for the yellow version for the same price. Figured I should share this here.

  7. Guys, Guys, I hear all the frustration ,and animosity being directed at Autoart for the lame choices that have cost us both money and disappointment when we received a model we had expected a lot from , and then.. was let down at what arrived……..It was never an outright “Beat ” , just less than what we’d hoped for at too high a price !!………This began happening when (as I remember) the prices of the alloys required to make diecast shot up in and suddenly resin was on its way……….Look, here’s the point I really wanna make, anyone who was into collecting in 2004 to around 2010 saw the advancement of detailing and build quality . Examples of this were ERTL’s Authentics to Hwy 61 , Sunstar’s Platinum , Autoart began packing in styrofoam , and including beautiful color catalogues showcasing their already extensive. unusual listings of beautifully detailed painted wired and plumbed vehicles !! Everything from European sedans to long tailed racing Porsche’s . There were others GMP to just name one . In 1/24 Danbury, WCDPI Franklin Mint………..All these Companies were FLYING !!!! HOW MANY ARE LEFT ??? You and I know that more than half of these rapidly improving ,and growth companies ARE GONE , and the one’s bought out under other names are just not as good !!………….All this brings me back around to Autoart which clung to life, and did maybe not its best , but it stayed in the fight , and with some good competition from “Almost Real Diecasts ” ,Just maybe Things can turn around a little to bring us back to the growth once more of the kind models that put a smile on my face , opening panels, working features good design ,and more authentic detail……..Oh yeah , and prices we can live with ! SO BRAVO “Almost Real ” I love you for what you’re making, and what you’re cost is at present. I’m gonna do whatever I can to encourage you by spending my cash WITH YOU mb
