Default Sun Star Models

Are these models any good in comparison to Autoart or Minichamps?

Thanks

Mike

AutoArt are a lot better quality but then they are more than twice the price in most cases.

Depends on what car you want as sunstar make cars that AutoArt & Minichamps dont.

the sunstar escorts are reasonable quality and i have collected all the mk2 rally cars so far they did start off at Ł25 when they were first released but are now Ł50.the autoart sierras are in my mind well over priced as are the minichamps models but are of better quality and detail than the sunstar

Yep, totally agree.
Used to buy the sunstars at Ł25 in bulk when I was modding them.
Now prices are double!!!!
Scary value of collection now

They're a very good model.

Better than most Minichamps and quite a lot cheaper IMO.

AutoArt are superior, but vastly more expensive. SunStar are well very well made and very nicely detailed and pound for pound are is good as it gets.
