    AutoArt beats Kyosho hands down. AutoArt is one of the few model manufacturers that captures the correct bodyshape and stance. Kyosho has problems getting the bodyshape right. And not just for this model, but in general.

    I agree with you. AutoArt's models are superior that Kyosho. I have a M3 E46 CSL from both companies. If you could really see the difference probably you would throw the Kyosho model to the garbage...

    I did.

    I like Kyosho but in more cases vote for Autoart!

    Yes ... I have the 1/18 Kyosho Countach LP400 and LP5000. The body shape is wrong.

    Kyosho was once eye to eye with AutoArt but in the past two years AutoArt made progresses in quality and Kyosho got a lot of quality problems. The last model I have got from Kyohso was the white Testarossa and it was awful. Get the AutoArt and you can be sure it's ok.

    I have all the Kyosho Countach's and one AUTOart Countach. They're all great, but I'd say that AUTOart probably have a little more 'finesse' but the thing I hate about them are the headlights. They look awful when they're popped up where as the Kyosho's look perfect. As they say in England: "it's six of one and half a dozen of the other"! ;-)
