Non opening doors,etc is very typical of resin models. Hopefully Auto Art will have a series of the C8.

Just an update, pulled the trigger on the black model after seeing they raised the price on the red to $219. The black is still listed at $149.

It says they won't be available until October 2020. I've been waiting for my real C8 since I ordered it in July. I think I'll spare myself the anguish of waiting for the model.

Do you think the people went on strike, reason for delay??? Maybe they can't get the blue prints?? Still a long time, the 2020 come out, then a month or so later we have the 2021 ready to buy. It's a plan.

I have a number of 1/18 scale die cast cars, and they're all in the $100-200 price range, depending on what retailer might have been running a "sale" on them. But if I'm spending that kind of money, the car had better have some serious detail, such as opening doors and hood, detailed engine compartment, etc.....
