From what i have experienced, they are not the easiest ones to dissemble.

hmm,
are they hard like AUTOart

or like maisto, I find Maisto easy to disassemble

From my experiance, the Hot Wheels models are a PITA to take apart. They use way too many rivets & crazy glue to hold the cars together. The main problems you would run into are the door panels & windows.

:iagree :iagree

If you are talking about stripping the car to paint.. i think Hot Wheels is definitely harder than AUTOart. But if ur talking bout swapping wheels.. Hot Wheels would be the easier one in my opinion.

Nothing beats Bburago! :happy They are the easiest to dissemble!

I've found the HWs to be fairly easy. Some of them use glue (stupid 333Sp chassis), but overall, I haven't had too many problems. Especially since, like Bburago and other manufacturers, they offer a lot of their cars in kit form, which immediately lends itself to some form of assembly/disassembly.

I want to mod the 1:18 1965 Chevy Impala in spring green

All I'm gonna do for now is replace the exhausts ( do i need a special knife for this?) and maybe paint some of interior

I'm also considering a body respray

and yeah, I'm thinking of modding a Bburago too :cheers
