Actually, maybe it's metal! I can't see a model costing $150

I can't see the pictures here at work but i'm assuming it's the biante model?

If so then yes they are made of metal and look awesome!

I have the Group C Allan Moffet version at home.

OK...got home and had a look at the picture.

Looks very nice.

Similar to my one I was talking about:



Doors and Hood open, pretty sure the steering wheel turns the wheels, very high in detail right down to the fuel system etc.

Cam...

Wow, thanks for the details. Sounds like a quality product! I'm tempted to grab one but it's kinda pricey for me.......

You would be surprised how much a model car costs. I have 7 here, and I know 3 of them were $250+

If anyone tries to order that SA, update the thread if the purchase works because it says Available within Asia

if your talking about the yahoo auction japan car, you just have to use one of the brokers to bid through. They will transfer your payment, get it shipped to them, then they ship it out to you. I bought a set of wheels off of there with no problems.

No, I mean the one from Auto Art. I wonder if it's only available in Asia at the moment or if it can actually be purchased here in the states
