Default My Autoart IS 350 Just Came...

Just got my 1:18 Crystal White (yellow ) model from
AA Collections. It took two months to arrive, in stock should mean in stock, not on the way from the factory

Well here's some pictures so people can decide for themselves. Omitted interior pics since its the same as the other colors...









From the last picture I can see how they got it wrong, someone took a picture real close and indoor with regular yellow lighting. Or maybe my car is more white than others

Was gonna paint the inside black, but why bother now....
Guess I'll give it to my kid to play with, when I get one

Is that a spoiler I see on the back? The pics on their site showed the model with no spoiler, which I was not happy about because my IS has one. I am waiting for my TP Autoart to arrive...hopefully any day now, and hopefully with a rear spoiler.

I received an email from them the week after I ordered indicating my model would be arriving on shore within the week and to expect delivery within 2 weeks following that.

I ordered it when it was first listed at the AA Collections website in December. It didn't make it as a Xmas gift

Was delayed getting to the HK store, than further delayed at the Canadian port...hence the two months...

It was around $80 or so shipped, don't remember as it was that long ago...

The detail is better than the diecast cars at Walmart for sure, doors open and so does the trunk and hood. The seats are plastic (not leatherette(sp?)). There is no spoiler, the trunk just has that normal nudge at the end. Only problem for me was the color as everyone I've shown the car to says its light yellow not white. So it can't be my eyes. Don't think the color was a factory error, the box shows the car in that color...It looks OK indoors under my glass cabinet, but next to the real thing

Mine just came a couple of days ago. I waited quite a few weeks for it but was sure it would be worth the wait. Crystal white? Nope, don't think so. More like Crystal vanilla. But like has already been said, it looks just fine until I set it on by the "real deal". Then, oops. Not so good. The quality is quite nice however.

Sorry to hear about the color mismatch - I had already planned on disassembling mine and painting it glacier frost mica anyway, so it won't be a big deal for me...

Mine just came in this morning. TP and the colour looks right on. Interior is very detailed and floors and trunk have real carpet. The undercarriage is also looks great. Was almost 3 weeks exactly from the time I placed my order on-line and when it arrived at my door in Ontario Canada. I will post pics when I can find time over the weekend.
