The original 1:18 scale Maisto made Audi R8 GT was release a way back in 2011! But I was not so much interested in that model though Audi R8 always had a high place in my heart! But then every time I visit model car shops I get this glimpse of Audi R8 both in regular and also in GT variant but the finish and desire to own a Kyosho made Audi R8 supressed my desire to get an Audi R8! All of that changed when I recently visited Modelart, Bangalore and they had nothing new for me… But my heart said “look look you might miss something really important” and finally found this beautiful Audi in matte black.
Maisto first released this Audi R8 GT in sliver then in white and finally in this matte black. I kind of liked this gray but always had the Kyosho version as my option one! But when I saw this guy in flesh I couldn’t resist the urge and bag it immediately.
- Being a Premiere Edition model it comes in a slightly bigger box that also holds a plastic frame that can be dismantled and used as a display base!
Though I got this model a way back but could not unbox it because of some many reasons such as work pressure, other model in que etc. So today I decided to open it as promised to my Facebook buddy “Vicky Kurosaki” and also to unleash this beast into my xDiecast garage! The unboxing was a very simple affair as it is with most other Maisto model and the model was very well packaged to protect from anything that is to be thrown at him. Once out this Audi R8 GT scores full marks on the first impression factor. The paint finish is top class and the imperfections are all suppressed quite well in this color!
I am a big time Lamborghini lover and the baby lambo the Gallardo is something of pet for so I wanted to peg my pet against this new beast to show you some size comparison. This also gives you some insight on the profile of this Audi R8 GT and the craftsmanship on this Maisto model vs Welly’s legendary quality control on this Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.
I usually prefer any color to black as they are not so photogenic and are prone to accumulating dust easily. But here in this Audi R8 GT I was happy as this matte finish gave some photogenic character and resistance to dust. I am very exited to photograph this Audi some outdoor location and give my verdict on it. And I want your opinion suggestion on which model should I compare this monster with. So hold one and stay tuned.
