Has Autoart golden era of diecast been surpassed by newer brands like LCD Models, Almost Real, MotorHelix ? Maybe it's diffcult to tell at this point. Really fantastic models have been released in recent years by these brands, but when Autoart used to put real effort in it's models, they were unbeatable in the "near expensive" segment. Of course Exoto and CMC (and maybe BBR?) offered much more special, intricate and well made models, but they were much more expensive too. So maybe now it's time to remember the "good old days" of AA with some of their models of that era...
