And I wonder if its diecast. Description says made of composite. Not sure what that means.

This will explain it.

It's a different color, but otherwise, I'm guessing this is the same car from Autoart:

Interesting, and they want $182 for it. I’d have to feel it look at it first.

Autoart is known for some of finest die-cast available. They make a 2007 California Special I want but they are now in the $300+ range which is a little rich for my blood.

I recently added a black Autoart 1/18 GT350R to my collection. It's my first composite model but it still feels like an extremely high quality piece, and its supposed to prevent the paint issues that happens to diecast metal models over time, so I'm fine with it. The orange one is a 2019 GT by GT Spirit and the green is a 2020 GT500 by Maisto.

The rest of my collection before I added the GT350R.

You at one time, could buy diecast model kits. That you had to build and paint.
It be nice if some diecast producer offered this option.
I know it not be totally the same thing, but a raw die cast unpainted, That you detail the interior, the body's paint, and such then screw the body to the chassis.
So you can make your own minime, s550 .
Plastic model kits don't take automotive paint very well.

Really? Wow. I did see the die-cast ones that you assemble yourself with screws. There were some aftermarket appearance and performance parts that you could add or you could build it as stock. I have never seen a die-cast one that you paint yourself.

Nice!

Where do you source your 1:18's from for best price?

 

[Houston Kid]

I look at ebay and find some that are being bid on but still low price. I’ve not had any luck finding older releases any where else.
