IMHO, the Evo X lights are not done properly, the body isn't correct to proportion, the wheels are ridiculous. Compared to the Evo X from HW, everything is just wrong here. I dunno la. I think like kena rip off 20 bucks for this. I'm sure they rushed this car just to make a tie in with NFS games. Kind of a waste as the finishing is really bad.

People would just buy them anyway when they stuck that Mitsu brand on it, same goes for VW.........

@netmatrix
i wasted 20 bucks

@fadhli
im included in "those people"

[Fadli85 0]

sorry kurz, not meaning to offend you or anyone, if you or any person like the car for what it is, for example you are true blue Mitsu fan, then what's wrong with that?

To me the X look weird, no totally Xed as we expected, maybe they had do some street tuning on the body. The Front light to me look abit fake and no according to the real car light.

But for the GT-R, i think is more better. But again the Front light, they just paint in full without any detail. The RIM for GT-R are no bad.

how about the mustang?

no worries bro! you bought it bcos you like it... thats simple. Every individuals has their own preference on their liking. Anyway nice evo collection.

[netmatrix 0]

Sorry Kurz, i didn't mean to degrade u or anything. But his car looks like it came out from a cheap China designed/made stuff for less than 5 bucks. Yes to fans, its ok to get just to complete it. But to some which fanatize looks, it would be dreadful. Its not that the color is bad. Its just the proportion and how the parts are matched. I think it can be a great product. Masito just messed up on this one.

Anyone ever noticed Maisto never ever got their hot rod, muscle and blinged up cars wrong? Thats their niche and speciality. U give them latest cars and plonk them into the Lowrider/ Pro Rod inspired design team, and this Green Evo is the end result.

[Phoenix 0]

Yup, but the wording is too dark and small, u need some spot light and Magnify glass to see it...

[kurz 0]

^ so u think renji used spot light and magnifying glass only he saw it?
i dont think so :doh: :doh:

[netmatrix 0]

I wish Jada had the license for this than Maisto. Though some of Jada's stuff is equally as ridiculous as this NFS one. I have a problem with them slapping huge differential short drag car axles on every make. Its not realistic anymore.

hmmm this one i agree..heh

Ha ha... Maybe his version is Nikkor type, can spot any tiny thing. I only notice the wording after few visit on different shop.

[kurz 0]

^ u used the shop's spot light n brought with u a magnifying glass to see?

if the wording too small on 1/64 scale, then look at the 1/24, bigger & easy to spot
use touch light is enough to spot on tat scale
