Their 'stock' models were not bad - their racing versions of the same car were largely a disaster with poor fit and finish and inaccurate detailing for all but one of the models

This was the pick of the litter

I've never seen the racing version, have to look around to see if there are still any available, looks pretty good to me.

@old-caddys That one is not that bad - the other three, the red and the blue Penske cars and the white & black one are just riddled with errors and suffer from poor build quality. I believe they were the first cars that Exoto built in the UAE and the lack of experience that the workers had compared to those in China was quite obvious.

I did a fair amount of work on the two Penske cars to get them presentable including completely re-painting and modifying the interior but short of taking the car down to bare metal there was no way to fix the incorrect hood scoop or vents behind the front wheels

@mcjbob Nice color on that one - marina blue is it? I think the key to this or any model really is how it looks on the shelf next to its siblings and I think this one would look right a home next to the excellent Autoart model

That Exoto model is a real gem. Thanks for sharing.

I am very impressed with all the Corvette models displayed in this post.
