Autoart makes great diecast replicas, I have the RX-8 from Autoart, the detail is amazing , from the rotary to the underside of the car. The interior detail is spot on! There models are pricey , but when you see how much detail they put into there model , you understand why. I paid $90 for my RX-8.

I am looking to buy the 787B , currently its sold out. The detail on that car is impeccable! So impeccable it cost 180 bucks!

Really?! You have the 787B Auto Art model with the renown orange and green paint scheme?

I know Mini champs makes a very detailed 1:64 scale version of the 787B, to small IMO and just as expensive as a AutoArt 1:18 scale model.

Did you know AutoArt won a award for making the 787B replica, it had that much detail like the real one. I have got to get that model before they phase them out....

P.S...that Cosmo is a good looking model.

Yep that's the one I've got. Beautiful piece. I actually have over 40 1/18th scale model cars but am about to get rid of half of them. Many of them I just have no interest in. I'm keeping all of my rotaries and select other cars such as the McLarens, some Ferraris, a couple of Mercedes (including the 4 rotor C111), and others.

Actually speaking of models I got this bad boy for Christmas, I haven't started it yet as it's going to be epic, I'll probably document it in a thread or something as it will be something I plan on taking a lot of time on and really going nuts with the details, it's a 1/12th scale Porsche 935 I originally had started one as a child and it got destroyed when we moved here from Europe back in the 70's, I can't wait to finally get to finish it as it has bugged me forever that I never got to see the original one done.

Autoart has just about every car that was popular in some way. Is that a Lotus or a Chapperal? Beautiful none the less...

I am really bummed about the AutoArt ALMS cars, there closed body pieces, so no detail on the motor, I am assuming for private reasons due to the race teams request.

The Aston Martin DB9 race car and the Compuserve C6R Corvettes are gorgeous pieces.
