I think they only wanted $ 4 for it.

The cheap price is probably because of the plastic headers. Wonder why it was designed that way?

I'm no expert but I think these Maistos are the for the beginner collector.

The body is metal but most of the rest is plastic.

Even if it is plastic, the paint selections can be better - my bugaboo is the body paint,

it should be blue with yellow lettering, forget the white - blue would really pop the engine compartment and matte grey metalic would have been better for the heads / mufflersif they are plastic - that chrome paint has the phony plastic look.

I posted a silver 1 / 18 Porsche Spyder some time ago that nailed the paint scheme with a simple grey metalic, it is plastic but the attention to look makes it look more real than this guy.
