Hey guys. I'm just getting into scale models and was really amazed by the quality and finish of this cheap Maisto model. I bought it from Wal-Mart for $25+tax. It was the only one left and the only Maisto model there.

Pics of STFU:

mmm..can't wait to open the box

Doesn't look like it's gonna be too hard to put together:

Out of the box she comes:

They even included a screwdriver. How thoughtful. 8)

The quality of the paint on the metal body was fucking impressive. Look at it shine:

Bling-bling?

Or more discrete?

So comfortable...

Detailed dash:

It even has real mirrors:

Slap on the stainless steel exhausts:

Incredibly detailed interior:

Screw the chassis together with the body:

I decided to go with the bling-bling wheels:

....together with the performance tires and brakes. The brake calipers say AMG. How cool is that? 8)

Big brakes:

So beautiful:

Get used to this view.

Slap on the Deutsch plates:

Fit the wheels:

Interior fully assembled:

mmmm...low:

mmmm...high:

Up on the trophies case...where it belongs.

The scale is 1:18. Hi-res pics are available. If interested, P.M. me for hi-res pics.

I hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them and assembling this kick-ass car.
