All the body panels are tightly fitted together and the panel gaps are narrow and very even. Autoart really knows how to make good wheels and brakes. The ones on the GT are probably as real as a model can get.
Agreed on all counts. Especially the alloys and brakes, fantastic job by AutoArts.

I absolutely agree with what you said about the engine bay. It could be better. The gearbox casing seems to be too simple and i am a bit annoyed that the exhaust muffler is left unpainted, and how the engine cover wont' stay up.
Yep..

The carbon roof on my M6 (Kyosho) looks very good. Same effect as Kyosho fitted to the M3 CSL (not sure if you have seen it before, but I've also got that)

Looks great.. Although I must say it scratches easily.
