The AutoArt one is probably the nicest looking one I've seen so far. It is 1/18th scale and costs around $40-$50. They sell em at http://www.handa-accessories.com and various other hobby stores for that price.

Guys:

I have a silver/red Maisto 1/18 scale and the Autoart same color same scale. I since bought a Spa Yellow model to match my actual car. If anyone is interested in either silver model let me know. I'll sell them separately or together. They are new in the box. Offers?

Hmmm, those S2k's look to be the one's made by Maisto. The red one still has the windshield wipers facing the wrong way for the even though the steering wheel is on the left side.

And $76.00 for the NSX?!

I can tell you from experience that the EBBRO models SUCK!!! I ordered mine way back before I even owned an S2000 and the hood was broken. Not a big deal and then about a day or so later, the door flopped off when I was showing it to someone! Needless to say it was sent back with a request for a refund!

Get yourself an AutoArt model. . .well worth the moola! Your best price for an AutoArt model (as well as color selection) will be from www.handaaccessories.com They have the AutoArt's for $39!!! I paid over $60 for my first one! I have two AutoArt S2000's and 3 Maisto S2000's! By far, the AutoArt's take the cake!

The AutoArt's trunk is lined with a fabric felt just like the real trunk and the engine is extremely detailed. Hmmmm. . .

I am looking at mine right now, the front lights are definately much more detailed! The side marker is very well defined as it is not a bump but instead an indented part of the model. . .very impressive!

It has the aero screen between the seats as well! The rear lights are also just as detailed as the front lights! The exhaust is no comparison to the Maisto! Better materials all around on the AutoArt! Trust me, I also have a Lexus GS 400 in an AutoArt and it is super sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Nah, I don't work for AutoArt, just a happy customer with their products!

I have seen them all and AutoArt is the best quality and most accurate.

JMHO.

airgate,

thanks for report on EBBRO. Over priced and poor quality - that's a strategy for success!

Also, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who buys more than one of each model. I think I have 7 different models/sizes/etc. but my total count is 27! The wife says I've got to stop this.
