Well, almost. I ordered an AUTOart Aventador from a Japanese distributer. It took less than 72 hours to ship it from Tokoname Japan to my house in CT. That’s the best “standard shipping” I’ve ever had!

Oh, and screw these last 2 hours of the workday!

Are autoarts good quality? I’ve been looking at them but I don’t think ill ever drop that much on a model car.

If you score them for the right price , then they’re amazing additions to a collection. The detail is incredible and usually precise.

I’ve had a similar experience in ordering parts for my Skyline from Australia, UK, and Japan.

Usually parts from Australia though takes weeks for some reason.

They really are. AutoArt goes to obscene lengths to make their cars realistic.

Miniature hydraulic support rods to hold engine-bays open, paint with 1:18 scale metallic flakes, plastic seats that feel like leather, engine components that look like painted metal not painted plastic like it actually is (which is unfathomably difficult to pull off).

They’re really expensive (some are over $300), but they’re absolutely worth every penny.

I have 4. Shop around, read reviews. But they really are worth it.
