I particularly like the use of the VW esque wheels from Maisto. ![]()

A gorgeous casting. I remember these days when Maisto would give us great castings with clear windows and interiors for a great price. Pity they still don't do so.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Arrrr, agree with ye, matey. Keep in mind the price, the price......they still make great castings but at a lower cost. If they had a Maisto "Plus" series with interiors and more detailed paint, would you pay, $2 for them? I would, but would they have a tough time mass marketing them? JL does it, Matchbox Lesney does it, M2 Driver series does it. As we saw in the Target All Stars Red series, Maisto had a distribution problem....what happened to them ? Did they ever release all of the "Red 100?"

I'd buy them too. But you're right, they'd probably tank.

The only Maistos, for the most part, that I concern myself with now are the convertibles...unless it's a model that seems to diminish the feeling that clear glazing and an interior are indispensible things. Unfortunately, there are not that many of them. |

Thank you Noir Guru for featuring this specific casting. I like it and I liked the real car. It's somewhat ironic that I saw one of these cars recently in the same colour and now you did a feature on it. Great timing. And thanks for all the work that you put into these presentations. I certainly appreciate your efforts. Cheers. Cobra |
