Crazy!Just scored the best deal I've ever gotten on a model car:

$41, they seem to have gone down in price but this one was especially cheap.

@legacyMACHINE @CLowndes888 check them out on eBay, some seem to be selling in the $60 range. Still, $41 was really a steal even compared to that

I used two backdrops. You get to see the black bristol board first.
1:18 Kyosho Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
Bought second hand off some other dude. Wasn't kept in the best condition, and the front left rim has some weird thing going on with it.
But hey, it was $80. Not bad for a Kyosho?

ok so the guy was pretty fast, payed on wednestday, shipped on saturday...
From germany, tracking code: DEXXXXXXXXXXXX, X for a number, any idea of what kind of shipment?
Should be tracked and with insurance, maybe it's fully covered by DHL and not by our postal
service...
[update] it's a DHL packet international, now it's just a matter of time

Wait, that "Racing Car" crest... It's the same crest that I have on the base of my Calsonic Skyline. Who's the toy company makes that car, if you don't mind me asking?

It's made by Del Prado.
I bought it for just 10 USD...
Del Prado, huh? Thanks for the info.
And just 10 dollars? That was a true steal, my man.

That's £6.50ish right?
Man, i'd have to pay that for an ASDA own (read: Walmart, just for the UK) model.

Nice! The rim looks fine to me but maybe it's just the picI used two backdrops. You get to see the black bristol board first.

Yep, the other front rim has scratches too, but still a great catch, but I swear I've never even seen a new model without little imperfections. That's why sometimes I prefer a used but minty one.I hid it well in those photos. We'll see how it holds up now:
you can see the two bubbles now.

Recently I have discovered AutoArt's new product line of "composite" models. What is the difference between the new composite models and the ones they already make? Will the prices change? I'd be looking forward to a cheaper AutoArt cars.

@Vitocorp, The circular chrome strip on the wheel has two bubbles. The piece is brittle and I don't exactly have a way to replicate chrome paint. Aerosol cans don't ever do it.
I could easily sand off, and repaint the entire body of that 250 if I were you. All that is lost is the decals (though you can just grab some off another kit).

Well, since there's no chance to fully repair it, I'll just glue some broken parts and put it on the wall just as it is now or make a diorama.
I don't want to spend money on model which require critical repairs now, after 2 Exotos I want to give a break, the next model will be the 312T2 from Hot Wheels Elite.
THIS 250 GTO deserves some restoring, has been without cover on my shelf for a looong time, it's dusty, has lots of minor scratches, some paint chips on the rear are missing and both the doors are a bit messed up.
Still surprisingly good condition in my opinion since she survived against both my childhood (I played a lot with this model) and my mom (no doubt a great teacher but she's a bad housewife, she managed to crash and destroy 3 planes from my dad collection while cleaning the house
).
