Thanks tezza.. I've bought both the classic collectables and the autoart HQ monaro coupes. the classic I got when they came out for my older and wiser brother. He owns a sorta original HQ Monaro coupe. 350 chev mildly tweaked, the colour is a darker orange, more a red. and big fats.. I havent seen it in years. Im trying to get him to bring it up for our NNLs. Will get some photos of it and post em up asap.
Anyways..... I got so jealous at getting him the hq that i had to have one of my own. Then one day this little beauty popped up at a good price... had to have it...

Beautiful model. The level of detail in these things is getting out of hand (good isn't it?). But I bet there's one detail they don't have. Those GTS wheels should have "made in Canada" moulded on the inside rim (like the set on my 1:1 GTS Ute. If not, then Auto Art is obviously using cheap modern reproductions tsk tsk LMAO

Hey Pete - I just got out my magnifying glass and checked the inside rim of the wheels on my GTS model and guess what? In very tiny writing it says "Made in China"!

I think they are awesome, Its about time they got around to doin HQ's. I was waitin for the Yellow one, but I couldn't hold out that long!!
