Here are some photos and a video of my Shelby GT350R by AUTOart, they do not list the year of the car so the best I have been able to find is it could be a 2018 model year but I don't know. It will take a couple of posts to get the photos and video loaded.

Here is a weight comparison between the Lane Exact Detail 1967 Shelby GT350 and the AUTOart 2018 Shelby GT350R:

Here is a comparison of the AUTOart and Maisto Shelby Mustangs. The Maisto is a nice example for the price point with good paint, but lacks the detail of the AUTOart example.

Great addition.  Really love the current generation Mustangs, especially the Shelby models.

I bought the blue GT Spirit GT350R (released a few years before the AA hit the market) & white Solido GT500.  I'm happy with both.

John, I see the Shelby has "landed."  Badass, just like I knew it would be!  A fine collection to "Stang stable." No surprise on the weight though, Autoart can be "light" at times, Lane's are usually somewhat beefy.

The AUTOart cars are moving to a composite body instead of diecast, they say the composite mould allows for sharper lines and detail on the bodies, the one area where the AUTOart does fall short is the seats, while the door panels and dash/center consul are well done the seats fall short on detail for such a nice car at this price point. I do like them including side windows. Overall I think the AUTOart is a very nice car. 

 

I have an AUTOart Viper coming and when it arrives I will compare it to the AUTOart Viper I already have. The one I have now is a diecast body and the new one is a composite body so it will be interesting to see the weight difference between those two.

One of the things I like about the AUTOart Shelby is they opened the grille so you can see the radiator/A/C condenser and they have the slit opening in the hood.

Thanks John. I was unaware of AA composite bodies (win, win for all I guess). Thanks again for these fine pics.
