Maisto - Underappreciated and Undervalued

I've always been a fan of the 1/18 scale Maistos even though they don't get the respect that other manufacturers get.

Well that's good news for me the collector because I can get Maistos for prices way below Autoart and Kyosho prices.

Here are 2 examples of why I like Maistos

MAISTO JAGUAR




MAISTO MERCEDES BENZ

    Nice 18s you've got there and I can't believe they're Maistos. Nice details and quality...it's my 1st time to see these models by Maisto. Thanks for sharing! =)

    Thanks for dropping by Jovet. Now that you mentioned it, I suddenly not sure if that Benz was Maisto or Bburago ...

    Oh well, both marques are under appreciated so I guess it's ok heh heh.

    Congratulations. That Jag is a real beauty. I had the pleasure of seeing a real one in person while a friend was about to begin restoration. It had an elegance all it's own and it can be seen even in the 1/18 version.
