Autoart 1:43 scale Cooper S

The details is amazing





You can even see the center caps on the rims. Any ideas on how to go about with the bonnet stripes?

Added some bonnet stripes

The model is nicely done but it needed something. Bonnet stripes! I went through my spare decal bag and found a big piece of white decal for the rear wing of a F1 model kit. Then I got used a small piece of masking tape and made a template.

that one looks small, not large enough for my taste.

here is my 1:18th AutoART MCS in EB/W.

Carpeted interior,







very detailed, but at a tad over $100, its a bit steep for most collectors!

I like my 1:1 size one in my driveway. Really expensive but worth every penny.

I got one of the real tiny ones when I bought mine in 02.

That way, my wife got one (about a half inch long) so she wouldn't get jelous!

I get all my diecast cars from Ebay as a rule, you can sometimes get some pretty good deals, just gotta keep your eyes peeled .
