    very nice. I think a few of the maistos could be replaced with Autoarts or UTs in the McLarens case but overall, nice. Nice and neat too

    Man! ... You have good eyes to spot the Maistos in the last pic ... I thought it would be a little blurry what with the compression required to meet the upload requirements.

    Totally agree on the UT Mclaren - hope to find one at a reasonable price. I think the Maisto Murcielago is pretty nice. The Gallardo is quite average. The Porsche Carrera GT is also reasnably good.

    I have only 2 Autoarts now - the Diablo GTR and Porsche 917K. I will be buying the Autoart 996 GT3-RS and '73 Carrera RS Touring in the white on blue scheme when come out...

    On a positive note: just ordered a HW F399 this afternoon - it was going for $25 - a steal. This will keep completethe championship winning series from 1999 to 2003 F1 Ferraris. :)

    Its a HW 996 GT3 ... I figure since the engine is anyway hidden away I dont need to spend the extra $$ for Autoart quality.

    The GT3-RS I can justify AA as it has the same paint scheme as the '73 Carrera RS. So it makes sense to buy the same brand here for both cars....

    My philosophy has been primarily focusing on HW with occasional forays into Exoto, Minichamps and AA for models close to my heart ....

    Besides the four Exotos that I bought - 641, 312T, 312T4, Tyrell made a huge crater (dent is too mild a word) in my pocket...

    I am saving up for a Exoto Lotus 49 with Jim Clark. Hope to get one at a decent price...
