AutoArt are excellent models at all scales. Kyosho make a few excellent Lambo models (1:18 & 1:43) & are easily as good as AutoArt.

Another excellent & large range of Lambos is the 1:43 Minichamps. Also just about the same quality & 1:43 are the IXO range.

Some Minichamps look good others are awful, awful are: Espada, Urraco.
Good are: jarama, LM002, Countach and Miura.

I prefer hand built models from MR, BBR, Heco, Looksmarts and some Alezan I built myself, Yow-Modelli builts seldom cars and prototype but is too expensive.

I've got the Minichamps Espada & Urraco and think they are a good likeness of the real thing. Any reason why you don't like them?

I agree that MR are also superb but they are very expensive!

I also have a Record Countach resin kit, but haven't found the time to start it yet.

The chrome parts of the Minichamps are awful, they look so cheap I would throw them against a wall!
I gave the Urraco to my stepson and keep only the looksmart and Alezan pieces.
Looksmart Espada is nice but wrong, Serie 1 rearlights, Serie 1+2a rims but Serie 3 dashboard, typical MR/Looksmart!

Look at ebay you can get MR and Looksmart for a few $$$ especially older models which layed around for some time.

I bet only a handful of people in the world would be able to tell that there is something wrong with that Looksmart Espada model. Of course you will be one of them.

I love your collection.

I agree, Autoart and Kyosho make the best 1/18 Lamborghinis. I currently have 20 Lamborghini models in my collection.

ps. The is a 1/18 Lamborghini 350GT coming out next year by Ricko models.
