Default Check out Maisto's Murcielago Roadster

IMO the car is really ugly. The real car won the award for best looking roadster supercar.
But this?????? The Maisto regular Murc is better?? And what about the alloys? Same of the Coupe!!!! And the SHINNY Mesh??

^^ noooo, you canĀ“t tell that from a maisto model
I've never liked maisto, but unfortunately they have the license to reproduce some fantastic cars, but they've never been able to do a quality product, even if they're cheap.
I would spend $10 more for a burago

It seems I'm the only one who thinks it's not that bad.

You get what you pay for I guess...Maisto is cheap, their quality of reproduction is too, but for some models, it's the easiest and best way to get your hands on one. Unfortunately this one is a bit of a disappointment...doesn't look much like the real car :-/
