I came upon a few Motorama model cars only recently. I was surprised with the level of attention given to the detailing for something aimed mainly at children.

Motorama primarily has a deal with Disney where they make the cartoon characters like Goofy and Mickey riding their brightly coloured cars. Somewhere along the way they decided to also make something a bit more detailed such as this 1:43 scale Lamborghini Murcielago.

Pros: Decals are sharp with almost no jagged or overlapping printing. The wheels are properly shaped with a visible brake disc and caliper setup behind the rims. The interior is also accurately moulded.

Cons: Well, not quite cons, at this price range. The head and taillights are mostly black plastic with moulded details that needed a touch of paint. The scale may also be a tad tinier than 1:43. The mirrors are rubber which allows them to be flexible but also, well, rubber mirrors flop around.

Verdict: These are mainly designed for children to play with so they will withstand a little abuse. These are also detailed nicely enough that grownups can put up on a shelf. Here in Bangladesh, they mostly sell for 600-1000 taka. For the lower end of the price, the details were great and makes for a good addition to anyone's 1:43 scale collection.

If you want bigger, these same cars are also available in 1:24 scale with opening hood and doors. A lot of these are licensed racecars but a few stock cars like the new Fiat 500 and Alfa 8C are also available.
