CMC models are high-end, details are just stunning so if you find enough collectors which want those models just do it

CMC and Exoto are the best in the 1:18 size. I believe they are better than BBR.

Well, I don´t agree with Exoto but CMC can be better. Not all Exoto models are great, they have some faults which pretty sucks if you look at the price. Even the biggest Exoto fans say that and I am not one of them

I heard they had some quality problems with some models of a couple of years ago. They had used inferior zamac which resulted in crumbling and holes of some body parts.

The models are very detailed and these material problems will probably never happen again.

Not only that, there are some models with no exact proportions as the original cars...I am not that good in race cars but my friend (hardcore race cars collector) told me that.

The question is... will it be a special deal for JW members?? j/k
why not? cmc told us they dont have a minimum price so that would not be a problem - depends on how many cars you want to purchase the more the bigger discount we can give.
Great, I am looking for ferraris so if you are from Vienna or near, we can make a deal if price would be good

I bought last summer a Sondervitrine inklusive CMC Auto-Union Typ C & Motorenaggregat, I paid a lot of $$$ for it, but it's simply awesome. This is really my favorite model of my entire collection. :good:

I hope JW users will get some CMC deal, because now I want to buy an Auto Union Typ D with a CMC Vitrine.

Ive seen those models both here and in real life and the level of detail is just stunning!

My favorite is the Auto Union Type D but they are all awesome!

^^ Yep if that is true the Maserati 250F is certainly on my list, so much history behind that car!
