Great review, mate! Good job I watched till the very end coz I was waiting to see how the wing operated. Does it just go up and down or does it tilt as well?
Rob thank you for the review. I have been shying away from the AUTOart plastic models. I do enjoy the Signature Series much better. However I really like the Ford GT so I will have to bite the bullet and purchase one.
The Ford GT is one of the most beautiful cars ever made and Autoart hit it out of the park. I have the 1:18 Maisto Exclusive edition 2017 Ford GT which is amazing especially at its orginal retail price point but Autoart is just on a whole other level. Thanks for the video. Subscribed! Also I know Schmee will love it!
@@JonathanMiguelMabini I only have the Maisto one and not the AutoArt version so I couldn't tell you. Sorry. I have only 1 AutoArt model and although it is amazing I could not continue to buy them and stay married.
Hi I am a newbie to your channel where is the best place to get model cars from as here in the uk their isn’t any decent shops that have models on display is the GT40 a 1/18 model you are reviewing and what sort of cost will it be
Welcome to the channel, it is the same here in Australia, not any good shops to look at models. I buy most of my models online from Asia, the US and Europe. Try www.BBRmodelstore.com www.Carmodelz.com www.Autoartmodels.com www.Autobarnmodel.com www.CLDC.store www.Unusual43.com or just Google search the model you are after and see what comes up in the search, you will find more model stores that way.
I'm in the UK. Basically everything I order comes from abroad although Brexit may screw that. www.toromtomotorsports.com are my usual go to. But there are plenty in the EU such as CK Models, Modelissimo, Cologne Model cars that are all decent especially if they have a sale on. Ebay is another option although you want to wait until they do one of their 20% off promos
That's a beautiful model. Believe it or not Miasto makes a sharp little 1/18 version of this car for about $15 and it's surprisingly nice especially the paint and the tooling, both are top notch. Even the doors open up correctly which is pretty amazing for under twenty bucks. Of course the interior is cheap and the wing is stuck in the down position, but that's ok for this price point. I got a sharpie and wrote Auto Art on the bottom, hahahahahaha, no I didn't. Bottom line is the Miasto 2017 Ford GT is a proper poor boys way to live the high life with you AA boys.
I'm sorry to disagree with most people over here but composite models look superb. You couldn't tell if they are fully sealed until you open them. No gaps plus amazing paint jobs mean bad ass looking cars.
I've seen many close up pics of this model and its shame to say Autoart has missed the mark, overall quality is below average, no proper engine detail, interior is shocking yet they demand high prices? Nah.
Too much molded plastic to simulate carbon fiber, yes, engine detail is average. As I said in the video, I am modifying this one to send to SHMEE150 in the UK. This is not staying in my collection.
@@ROBSMODELCARS as part of the mod are you gonna use carbon fibre decal to cover that screw head? Never modded a model but thinking I might have to with this one!
Okay this is a bit off topic, but do you happen to have any idea how to get authentic detailed blue-prints of certain cars??? It's a hobby of mine to make paper models of certain cars, n getting not enough pictures n info is one of the biggest hurdles in it...
It looks really nice but im not sure its worth the $389.99 AUD that it costs in Australia. The AutoArt A70986 1/18 Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo Light Racing Blue Blue Carbon is even more expensive at $474.99 AUD
Not worth it and I sold this model on. All AUTOart models now for us Aussies are getting up near AUD$500.00 which is a lot compared to the quality that is dropping. It is nearly resin model money (BBR & MR) and they have far superior paint, details, leather base and display case and increase in value more (Usually) I doubt there will be many more AUTOart models that I buy and keep, they are just disappointing and not good value for money!
I agree it is overpriced, but who makes a better Ford GT at any price? I'm currently looking for the best Ford GT available at any price and unfortunately this is the best I can find. So, if you want the best Ford GT available (at this time), then you're stuck with AutoArt because nobody else makes them at this quality, regardless of price.
I've never heard anyone pronounce decals like that before (deckels), took me ages to realise what he was saying and im an Australian lol, this guy sounds like a NZ'der from across the pond. Normally people pronounce decals like D'cals
Which ever way I pronounce Decals, people complain and comment I pronounce it wrong. People say that word different around the world. Some say Dek-als, Some say D-cals. English teachers, don't watch my channel LOL
You should give the models you review a "Rob Score" kinda like Doug Demuro's Doug Score 😉
Haha very funny bro
quirks and features
Please do another review of the customed Shmee150 Ford GT. I really wanna see how you modify it
Lovely Spec, I do agree the doors are bit weak on these composites but nonetheless they are some of the best models on sale.
Wow, that orange is amazing. Probably my second favourite ford along with the gt40 in first
It's red 😂
Lovely model, nice review. Thank you✊🏻✊🏻

Just up and down, it does not tilt

does it have shock absorbers like the one with Maisto Exclusive?
@@JonathanMiguelMabini I only have the Maisto one and not the AutoArt version so I couldn't tell you. Sorry. I have only 1 AutoArt model and although it is amazing I could not continue to buy them and stay married.
This is my next purchase to my new collection or the yellow version, not sure.
Very nice model I have Maisto but this is next level ;)
I want that so much more than the 15 dollar yellow Maisto I have. Love it!
€ 297.49 in The Netherlands... Prices of 1 18 models are ridiculous now a days... Now I love my Maisto even more;)
Great car! Very cool to modified for Shmee150 😎💯

Hi Rob, a great review as always. do you have a follow up vid of the custom model?
No, I sold the model as Shmee already had a custom made model of his car.
That's a beautiful model. Believe it or not Miasto makes a sharp little 1/18 version of this car for about $15 and it's surprisingly nice especially the paint and the tooling, both are top notch.

Love the spec on this GT
Your first USA car, Rob? Great place to start!
This is actually getting modified and sent off to SHMEE

I have the 2018 gt350r from auto art and i was amazed
How much does it cost
www.autoartmodels.com
How you doing Rob ?
My question is what scale is a GT Ford from autoart the liquid red with the gray stripe ?
Everything on my channel is 1/18 scale
that looks awesome 😎👍 nice review
Okay this is a bit off topic, but do you happen to have any idea how to get authentic detailed blue-prints of certain cars??? It's a hobby of mine to make paper models of certain cars, n getting not enough pictures n info is one of the biggest hurdles in it...
Check out: www.the-blueprints.com
Haven't watched your videos in a while, but how do you think the Bugatti Vision GT looks from AUTOart
It looks good, I will be getting it, but hopefully it is not full of carbon look textured plastic
Hey rob can u post a link on that rotating stand you’ve used in your videos
I bought this a few years ago, but they are not available anymore. I wish they were, I could sell a lot of them
Okay thanks for the info any recommendations for a product similar to it?
not a fan of that guy or his videos, but i like you and your videos
Are yo talking about SHMEE?
@@ROBSMODELCARS yea
Does the model has the airbrake?
Yes, watch the end of the video
@@ROBSMODELCARS you only poped it up, but you didnt put it in the air brake
Porsche Carrera No air brake. It only works as an up and down spoiler
Nice shirt rob
I actually want to buy one
You made it???
No, it is made by AUTOart
It's incredible but autoart models are really expensive here in spain
Expensive here in Australia too!
Australian mate bloody legend
Cuanto cuesta un auto de ese tipo. Tambiem en donde lo venden
Nice, but the fuel filler door should be square, not round.
You forgot the spoiler it lifts up from the model as this is from the 2017 model
15:15
No scale?
Everything on my channel is 1/18 scale unless mentioned otherwise

the liquid red looks more Orange to me, but looks really nice.
My filming lights make every color a little brighter than it is in the flesh
I'm nice but I rather had a plain old diecast Auto arts that's why I will be buying them

For some reason new autoart don't excite me anymore
Thats because it's all composite. I've grown out of it.
Signature line was the best, screw the composite stuff.
@@LTCTTM I have all the Signature P1's though, and they are amazing.
@@ThatAwesomeUsername they seem to lack of details in the engine, am I wrong ?
This Ferrari collector I follow on ig also got a new ford GT lol David lee
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .. ..
So it's basically COMPLETELY filled with plastic-molded carbon fiber lol
Just about, very little carbon decals, mostly molded plastic to look like carbon. Very Maisto!!!
@@ROBSMODELCARS then I'd rather go with $15 Maisto Ford GT.
hey this is my name
