Cool addition. Color is superb as well. The black material on the wing and on bits all around the car is called Forged Carbon - a different blend of carbon fiber.
I think there could have been better detail. It‘s good but not on the level the old AA‘s were. That carbon fibre need a better clear coat for sure. Those panel gaps are a no-go. Good review tho, every time i enjoy your videos.
thats been my thoughts on autoart as of late. i remember when they announced the composite changeup and claimed that it would help "lower costs" and give higher levels of details but from the ones i own and others i've seen close up reviews of it seems like the cost went up and detail went down compared to their sig series and millennium lineup.
@@musek5048 However i don't think the composite is the problem. It's the general execution and their pricing for what you get. For me the best sign of AA going downhill is when they replaced many carbon decals with textured plastic. That is something a company wouldnt do if they really cared about quality and detail. I have a AA 918 Spyder - flawless painting and the details are spot-on- The panel gaps are perfect. Yes, it's a composite model but still it opens up and i prefer that over resin non-opening models. Also since the parts are light, they stay open much better. So for me the composite really is no issue. The issues are - looking at this model in the video - that they now often don't clear coat the carbon fibre which makes it look bad since it often is not full matt as well. With textured plastic they can't do it anyways which is even worse. In this video they really disappointed in the interior. They should've put alcantara texture on most of the plastic interior parts, much more carbon fibre, better coloring and stitching details. Outside they did terrible on the brake discs - their holes arent even cut through, there is not carbon ceramic surface detail at all etc etc.... I also have a Spark 1:18 911 Speedster which is done very well compared to this. It has the proper carbon - ceramic surface for the brake discs, has super nice interior with red stitching and the general details are spot on. It's sad to see that AA really doesnt try to stay on top of the diecast 1:18 game...
@@dominikn.5940 spot on with the point about the textured carbon. its the stuff you expect on a maisto but not on $200+ models. The brakes rotors were also always a highlight to me for AA models since they always got the look right but on this they do look at bit rough around the edges. i have a tsm f1 gtr that has actual vented rotors that look like the real thing instead of just being a metal plate over plastic which can still look great. also, you are absolutely correct on the opening parts being more stable with composite models. i hate that feeling when you accidently let a door or engine lid slam shut since diecast is heavier and possibly wear out the struts more.
It's great that you shared the model, it's sick for me that the 500 euro model has such flaws, damage, the model is not cheap and the flaws are like in bburago for 50 euro......
Or perhaps one day I want to do some pictures completely outside to get rid of all reflections of my flat and only see the reflection of the real sky and trees.
You can get this model on eBay: ebay.us/mA0FX1
Gorgeous doesn't come close to how fascinating this car and its beautiful color are!!
And look at all those details!

Não utilize as mãos! Mas sim objectos próprios que vêm incluídos nas caixas. 😊
Ta farba je super. Pekný model 👌
How you doing?! this is superb uploading- tal you later~ExternalStar!
do you collect rastar? rc rastar also has a 1:12 scale detailed with autoart but the material is plastic
I only had 1:18 Rastar Bentley Mulsanne. I am not aware of any 1:12 Rastar models

you want the light source BEHIND the camera (just like outside you want the sun behind you when taking pics)

you can use natural sunlight as well it works for me really good
