I received my Minichamps 1:18 M2 in LBB last week. Whilst overall I am generally pleased with the model, I have to admit disappointment in certain areas.
Firstly none of the doors/bonnet/boot open.
Secondly the mesh in the front bumper isn't as finely detailed as it could be, but my main disappointment is the interior detail. There is virtually no dashboard detail, no rendering of the carbon fibre trim or metal details such as the i-drive control or console controls/switches.
I have owned a considerable number of BMW 1:18 scale models over the years, most have had exquisitely detailed interiors.
I also have a vast collection of 1:43 cars, including many Minichamps all of which have far superior interior detail.
Perhaps this forthcoming model from GT Spirit, if prototype images are representative, may address these shortcomings?
