    I searched the archives but couldn't find anything. How's the quality of LookSmart's 1:43 scale models? What's a good price to pay?

    Thanks,
    Erik

    Hi Erik, depends on which model youre eyeing up. They are almost to BBR quality resin-casts for approx $80 US. Looksmart used to be the only game in town for Gallardo and Urracco 1:43's, however Minichamps and Autoart recently released their diecast versions in the $30-35 price point. HTH.

    I'm eyeing the 365 GT4 2+2/400i/412 line up. Seems to be the only game in town for those models. Occasionally on Ebay for $90. Just want to do more homework first.

    Thanks,
    Erik

    Looksmart is a "low cost" off shoot of MR Models owned by the same owner as MR. The models are nice, I just bought a Ferrari PPG Pace Car.

    Isn't MR actually made by BBR?

    No - but apparently both BBR and MR owners are brothers...
