Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
1/43 by Looksmart
I don't usually buy 1/43 scale Looksmart models for my collection, most of the time there is a 1/18 scale version for that specific model available too, either from MR or from another brand, but from time to time I tend to break my own rule, and that's exactly what happened with this specific model.
Now I do have an excuse here, this model was part of a large collection of about 200 models that was being sold by the owner, he wanted to get out of his hobby and just put it all up for sale, among that a total of 30 1/43 scale Looksmart models ...
This Bianco Phanes Lamborghini Aventador SVJ 63 edition from 2018 was one of those Looksmart models, but it isn't their regular LS489B version, this one comes on a black velvet plinth inside a Lamborghini branded box, now I'm not sure if this was the model handed out back in 2018 during Monterey Car Week to VIP customers, or if it's something else, but I'm sure it is very limited and even more valuable than the normal Looksmart release for this model, which was €129 when they were available.
One thing I really love about adding these 1/43 scale Looksmart models to my collection is the fact I can put them next to the 1/18 MR version I have of the same model, and that comparison didn't fare too well for the small Looksmart version.
The 1/43 model comes with the stylish SVJ logo above the rear wheel, which isn't there on the 1/18 MR model, and that logo wasn't present on the actual car as it was presented in California back in 2018, also the '63' number on the front isn't angled correctly, is it is on the 1/18 model ... still, I love having both scales on this model in the collection now.
