Autoart Lotus Exige

This weekend i was suppose to go out and get paint for my gallardo wheels but when i got to the store they had this lotus exige for $75 and i couldnt resist. I know its not that cheap but seeing as how i looked online and could only find $70 + $20 shipping i asked myself why not? So yeah decided to get this instead of the paint ^^ ran out of money after wards haha. Overall i would say this model is okay but not outstanding. It feels really light but then again it is really small compared to all my other models. Engine detail could have been better, it could use more detail. There us a use of dogleg hinges which i dont get why would AA do that. They had an orange one BUT when i took a closer look the rear wheels looked like they had some camber issues (they were really low and looked kind of bent) and also the paint right in front of the windshield had chipped so no way i was going to purchase that. There was also a black one which i kind of regret not getting now.. but overall i'm satisfied with the model =D

Onto the pictures!















The exige next to my biggest model, the ford F150 by maisto. As you can see there is a huge size difference.

It is a nice model! I have one too. Just like you, I was a bit dissapointed. The detailing isn't the best possible. I also compared it to my other models and found it very very small It made me smile. But that's how the car is in real life. Fast, good looking and small. Great pics!

This model is really growing on me these past few days. At first i wasnt sure because i wanted the orange one (still do) but silver isnt too bad. Compared to my other cars this thing is tiny but dam i think it looks pretty mean
