Thanks, Jose, for some exemplary photos. Neat car! AUTOart has captured this one well!
Great photos and stunning model!
The Plastic Composite got any improvement in this one? Much harder & not feel fragile build quality i hope so.
No, the composite feels and operates in the same manner. Recently acquired the The Wolf Circuit Porsche from AUTOart, but I could not see or fell any differences. Let me add that it is still a well-executed model.
I give AA a chance, Last AA pieces i have is Pagani Huayra BC & Bugatti Vision GT tha t i sold 2 years ago, because it’s too fragile for me to keep it aound, it’s well executed model, but the creaking plastic sound it makes when i hold it, not match with the price i pay
fragile? I accidentally dropped a composite R34 Skyline GT-R on the floor, it fell from about one meter and remained undamaged, not even a scratch on the paint and the plastic remained intact and in its shape.
ABS plastic is a really durable material, even Legos are made of it!
Yes great images — SO LONG GTR – you’ve had a great life.
Great photos! Honestly, I had to jump to the engine/interior photos to confirm that this wasn’t the real 1:1 car!
Brilliant photos – soft lighting and moody vibe gel well with the car! Now it seems like AA has stepped up in the engine bay- that actually looks pretty solid- better than their Aston/ Lexus GTs – and I dare say almost LCD/ Motorhelix levels from the look of it. The interior though, not so much. I’ve seen better from them. But still, AA is still capable of pumping out some fine pieces.
