Looking for a Diecast model

That's true. I have to agree with you there. Also, their way of making hoses look real is kinda bad. In some cases they are not even realistic looking like painting them red. But in the higher ranked, more expensive Maisto models, they do make the brakes and more detail to the engine.

I have really been searching hard for a Maisto McLaren. The only site that had anything close was scale18.com, I got a McLaren made by a company called Guiloy. It's pretty high quality, but my complaints are:
1. ANYONE WHO IS BUYING THIS MODEL, BE CAREFUL: On the site it CLEARLY states "McLaren F1 prototype". In actuality, this is a McLaren F1 LM prototype!

2. It is hardly an F1 LM. The exhaust is different than on any F1 LM to my knowledge, and worst of all, the front hood scoop is the same as on the regular F1! The F1 LM is supposed to have tweaked dynamics, and I know this is a prototype, but even on real F1 LM prototypes the hood scoop is different.

3. Unrealistic colors. I bought the only color they had in stock, which was red. As we all know, F1 LM's are all made in papaya orange. If I had known it was an LM, I wouldn't have gotten it.

Bottom line: The exhaust and hood scoop suggest it's an F1. The box, front grill and spoiler suggest it's an F1 LM. So, what really is it?

I'm looking for a Maisto McLaren F1 in any color. I want the total price including tax and shipping and whatever to be under $50. eBay is known to have frauds and stuff, and usually the ones on eBay can soar up to about $90.

Where can I find a Maisto McLaren F1 for under $50 without going on eBay?

Try looking at ebay. I saw a McLaren F1 last week but it was not Maisto.

The last sentence of my post said I do not want to use eBay. I was bidding on a 1:18 McLaren F1 there and the price went up to $91.
