Paudi Models NEW to the scene

Just a little piece on the relatively new manufacturer who has appeared on the car modelling scene is “Paudi” a Chinese group who specialise in the more modern vehicles in 1/18 scale. Having stocked and sold these models myself over the last two years I can honestly say these are THE most detailed models in 1/18 scale currently out there, some models have up to 500 working parts and are exact replicas of the real thing. The detailing in the engine bay alone has to be seen to be believed, from the oil dip stick to shock absorbers you can see the intense detail. What makes these models so wonderful to look at is the paint finish which is in my opinion flawless, the seat belts are functional the seats are moveable and just when you think you have discovered everything you think there is to discover you find yet another hidden gem like the compartment that holds the spare flawless space saver tyre. They are priced mid-range and I think affordable between €80-€120 which is in my opinion a lot of model for the price, and I feel at last there is a model that caters for the car collector. These are well built sturdy heavy models that cater for car collectors that want a model of what they are currently driving. Paudi do not build their models on a production line, but from office to office, and their QC is second to none, that I can personally testify to, as some have mysteriously made it into my own collection. Their range has expanded dramatically over the last twelve months alone and they now cater for the Toyota, VW, and ford collector, in a very limited but expanding range. The Audi A4 that are shown in the pictures below is just a sample of a new release this year, and it’s a model that you would want to grasp with “BOTH” hands as the weight can take you by surprise retailing at €120 is what I believe to be great value, and is sure to strike an interest in both the younger and older collector. Feel free to tell us about your recent purchase and do you feel it was worth the price or what the quality was like, we would welcome everyone’s input.
