Maisto - 31640BL - Miniature Vehicle - Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - Scale 1:18 Random color

Lovely solid car. Looks good, great details

Great model of a distinctive looking car. Not as dark blue as the picture in ad but closer to that in pictures of the actual car you will see online and pretty cool. Interior and engine detail very good. Fit of doors and bonnet excellent. Sprung suspension! Only real gripe is steering wheel doesn't have much affect, but wheels can be posed. I have been collecting Bburago models over the last 20years and this is closer to their recent signature series in terms of detail.

As expected from a Maistro 1/18 scale car the item is top notch in terms of quality. The car has a lot if detail both outside and inside and even under the hood. The base doesnt include the car make model and year. That isnt a dealbreaker yo me but might be to others so just putting it out there. This model joined a collection of others with models ranging from the 50s to the 70s. It fits well and displays handsomely.

First, this is not a real toy. It's a metal model intended for collectors. Don't expect this to last if kids play with it. I have a small and growing collection that includes a 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO by BBurago and a 1947 Indian Motorcycle by Maisto...as well as a couple other cars (300 SLR for example). Diecast cars have come a long way in my opinion. Now, onto the Corvette. Mine arrived in a sturdy package, no damage whatsoever. It arrived in a beautiful black and the second I got it out of the package I felt the weight. Strong & sturdy. The front wheels turn, making the steering wheel turn a few degrees (not 2 1/ turns - this is a model folks) and the tire tread on the rubber wheels was fantastic. Engine detail is all there in multi-colored glory; there is even a small (plastic - be gentile!) rod inside the engine compartment that can be raised to *simulate* holding the hood up. The hood stays up on it's own, but I love the little detail. The inside of this car is largely like the real thing. As small as it is you don't get the same level of detail as a 1:12 or 1:8, but it's very, very nice. There are even springs for the suspension that work. Once again, this isn't a toy. The undercarriage is a most welcome surprise. My SLR has a mostly flat plastic bottom, but this has the pipes going from the front to the rear. It's not *perfect* but models have come a long way in a few years. The badges on the car read "Corvette" and there is no indication (on the box or the car) that this is a Sting Ray. Inside the engine compartment sits what *appears* to be a L84 327ci 375hp engine. No air filter. Great "knock off" wheels, no side pipes. Good stuff. If you are a Corvette fan - and I am a big one - this will be a handsome addition to your collection.

Sam produkt jak najbardziej OK. Uwagę mam jedynie co do samego opakowania przesyłki. Karton kiepskiej jakości, zbyt cienki i łamliwy. Opakowanie zostało pogniecione i w dwóch miejscach przerwane. Istniała obawa że przesyłka może być uszkodzona. Naszczęście tak się nie stało.

Me ha gustado el color, los bajos y motor del coche, buena elección para mi colección Bien los detalles.
