Plastic model kits usually require hours of patience and a deft hand with a tube of glue and the various bottles of paints and brushes. There’s definitely fun in the process for some people, but Maisto sells 1/24-scale die-cast kits requiring only a screwdriver for model assembly. Each car is authentically reproduced and comes with interiors, opening doors and hoods. Among the many domestic-based Assembly Line-series choices are the Camaro LT1, Dodge Challenger SRT8, Ford Mustang GT and Chevrolet Corvette. Exotic cars include the Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 911 GT2 and the Audi R8. The Assembly Line series of models sell for less than $25 per vehicle at www.amazon.com, but you’ll find a huge inventory of these and other kits at www.maisto.com.
