Maisto 1:18 1996 Porsche 550A Spyder

  Maisto 1:18 1996 Porsche 550A Spyder diecast car
 
 
 

This car also has some interesting features and a great look. This has all the working features of the 356 with a more detailed dash, nice steel wheels w/ generic tires. all "glass" lenses are used on the lights,and there's nice multicolored legible gauges. Under the hood is what I thought was a battery with tiny Bosch graphics on it... it's too complicated for just a battery. I think it might also be an electronic ignition setup. The graphics are beautifully crisp and multicolored, but my eyes can't discern what they're all about. Anyway, it's a very well done little diecast. I really have no complaints about the paintjob. Fit and finish are very good. Only the underside of the hinged deck amd hood show overspray. These are both very heavy little guys and what plastic there is is reasonable textured to simulate the different materials they represent.
