@gmpvideos Mat - your reputation is safe here. Thank you for being such a vital and involved part of the diecast model collecting hobby. We always look forward to seeing what you Georgia boys will think up next. Be well - and stop in here often!
@frankisfunny2007 Yeah, models like this can make other ones look a little lame. It's outrageous. They do great work, and they're a bunch of stand-up guys. Thanks for watching!
I just picked this up online for $149 after shipping (brand new sealed) from a liquidator. I actually had to wait 24 hours to think about it because I'm afraid once I get this model, that I will no longer appreciate my huge collection of: Autoarts, Kyoshos, Elites, and Minichamps. This will be my first high-end diecast.
@gunny556fly Pretty big, huh? Stop in and see our live model review show - "Car Room LIVE" - every Saturday night at 7PM Eastern US. Go to the car Room web site - "thecarroomDOTcom", and have a look!
@Thecarroom No, sir. GMP non-response to an e-mail awhile back re my 1/12 GT40 informed my decision to work directly with my usual and excellent retailer who will try to pry from GMP a 412P that can actually qualify as an acceptable replacement. I'm not hopeful, though. Obviously, the MC series' problems are systemic. Go to the modell-paradies website (Art Craft Models) for scathing review titled "GMP Masterpiece Junkyard". Things are really bad when a retailer dumps on the manufacturer.
Lucky Car Room. All six Masterpiece Collection models I've received (two of those being replacements) had dust-impregnated paint, poor fit , huge glue marks, and broken off parts (always in the plural). Yet GMP continues to charge big bucks for poor quality. What's the use of high part-counts if the parts are poorly painted, glue-marred, or busted? Purchase at your own peril. Six out of six says it all. If anybody thinks that I'm just making this stuff up, I'll be happy to send you pics.
Hell yeah. Love the 330 P4 and 312P. Such bodywork. Such masterpiece of automobile.

Hell yeah. If you love it, get it! 330 P4 is one hell of a car
Ha! Great way of putting that! And it's true. Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Where did you order it from? These can be hard to find these days!

Nice..... I wonder how it would stack up to the soon to be released Kyosho 1/18 330 P4? Can't wait to get them side by side for comparison
they also forget to mention that the gt40 was built by fords british devision
Autoart is high-end but this is sky high-end
@hlcepeda Wow - that's definitely not good. Have you contacted the company about replacements? We've heard their customer service is great.
