Cararama Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 is probably the heaviest and biggest in size diecast car for the 1:43 scale in this Cararama series. The finishing of this car is superb, from the top of the car to the wheels themselves. The wheels of this diecast also bears the Audi 4 rings emblem although my current camera is not able to capture that clearly. The details are good enough for you to drive the car home if you know what I mean. For a RM5 ringgit car, you can't go wrong with this particular Cararama lineup. An excellent display car in any showcase.

Anyway I will let the pictures do most of the talking. Superb Mould in my opinion.

CARARAMA SAGA 09 CONTINUES

Photobucket
I was reviewing a few excellent Cararama cars last year, if you remember, and basically Cararama cars are made by Hongwell Toys Limited from Hong Kong, which is a private incorporation. There are a few things going for this brand of diecast cars, that is its cheap and its quite detailed. However for this lineup of 1:43 diecast cars, there are no openable doors etc, but thats alright since it's got the two qualities as mentioned above.
Today I am going to do a review on the BMW Z8.

The car's proportion is excellent. One thing you will find in Cararama cars are the proportions are always close to the original car itself. One look at it and your heart tells you something is right about this diecast model. Everything is perfectly scaled to the original car. Besides that the finishing of the car such as the head lights(no sticking out plastic remainders), paintjob both exterior and interior.. etc is also well done compared to many other brands of the same scale.

This diecast car was also made by many other brands such as maisto, but I still prefer this to the maisto one because it still wins hands down in its detailing. Although the maisto brand has openable doors but its just not enough to compensate for the poor detail of the car and not to mention the price is double of the Cararama brand. All in all, I hope that this year, the superstores will bring back this brand for its promotions again and preferably with new cars.

UPDATE

UPDATE: And after 6 days into the New Year, I finally managed to get five vw fastback with the latest addition of the super drift king. Didn't think I would get it all so quickly, but here are the pics as an update of my progress. I am trading away one to a forummer tommorrow.

My newest haul, lucky to get it but why couldn't it be a 16 angels or a qombee or a camaro..... its popping up here and there now, but will be trading one off with another person soon.

On another note I managed to find a no tampo error dodge van. Normally I don't collect these type of casting but since its different, I grabbed it. At first glance its not that out of the ordinary but the longer you look, it does have its a appeal with no tampo on...
