So, I was lurking in one of the diecast forums I frequent and saw a link to the 2014 Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan...

I suggest Exoto models. I'll only buy Autoart, Minichamps, Exoto, Kyosho; Exoto being the creme dela creme.

I doubt I will ever buy another Exoto again, unless I get one hell of a deal on one. I generally stick to AA and Kyosho myself, as Minichamps recent models have pretty poor detailing for their price (their MP4-12C is noteworthy for this). I also will buy a cheap model if they are the only ones producing a model of a car I want, or if the only other model is out of my price range.

It looks very Holden-ish

That buyer I bought the McLaren from, I bought this Audi R8 racecar, under the impression it was mint, from them as well.
First two pics show the ad and how it's described as mint.
These next images are how it arrived. Clearly NOT in the condition it was stated, and that glue-job on the base is not just from transit. I am thoroughly displeased.

Yep, that Penske is a March 84, the winner of the 1984 Indy 500. And yes, that is a turbo Ford Cosworth DFV under the rear cover
And yabiggoose, that sucks about what happened with your R8. Think you can get it resolved with the seller?

Well I've messaged them with the same photos. Hopefully hear from them soon.

Auto Art announced this morning that a Wangan Midnight "Devil Z" is in development. I fully expect it to sell out right away.

The seller refunded my money so that's a positive. He seemed genuinely shocked and disappointed that it arrived as such.
So, I reckon he's a good guy.
