Comparing two 1:18 scale DeLoreans...the Sunstar and Autoart. They are both right out of the box, and you can immediately tell the differences...of course one of those differences is price.
I have the SunStar DMC-12 as well as the Back To The Future version and they’re both very detailed. Perhaps not as detailed as the AutoArt DMC-12 but here’s why I prefer the SunStar: It’s STAINLESS STEEL just like the real deal. I have several older AutoArt 1:18’s and they’re amazingly detailed in diecast. But now they use ‘other material’ which is probably a resin composite. I refuse to pay diecast money for plastic!
Even with the issues with the SunStar DeLorean I was just jazzed that they put one out that wasn't the Time Machine. The other issues I dealt with my self. The major three being the headlights, interior color and the door jambs not being black. I do have an AutoArt Lamborghini Miura and LP400 and boy are they nice. I do have the DMC-12 on in my sights and I am totally hoping the update their Alfetta GT to GTV6 spec (hopefully in luci del bosco) so I can have a replica of my GTV6.
This is awesome. In the Autoart one, the color of the interior is off IMO. It's kind of a yellowish gray, while in reality is't more of a neutral gray.
Yes this is model 79916. It has a more matte finish compared to model 79911, which as you said, is shiny. In my experience, the “shiny” one does not replicate a real DeLorean as well. Yes, a real DeLorean can have a “shine,” but the inherit quality of the real DeLorean is that it’s unpainted. It’s just bare metal. So logically it will never shine as much as paint. Model 79911 is paint, like this one, but it’s “shined up” paint, and therefore doesn’t look right. I personally think this “matte” finish gives it a more realistic look. But hey, model 79911 looks good too. Whatever suits you, is what you should get! 🙂
I have 2 on the sunstar delorean models ,one has a black steering wheel and seatbelt and the other has a gray wheel and seatbelt, do you know why there different? Which one should I keep ?
@@pepsicolazero Due to COVID, it appears that the cheapest that this model is going for is still $199, but with $11.50 shipping, so now about $215-ish. The seller is "minineopet" You can also just search "Autoart 1:18 DeLorean" and sort by lowest price. You'll encounter several with dark, almost black exteriors. If you want that, fine, but I've never seen that before and I think it's ugly, so I keep scrolling until I see the "satin," which is their word for stainless steel, the "color" you see in this video.

Thanks for the video!

You are 100% correct. The Autoart's one downfall is the interior. It's not the correct color. No production DeLorean had a yellow-ish interior.
@@themodelcitizen988 I wonder why they put so much effort into other details, and then got something this obvious completely wrong :-/
Going with quality
I just got the Autoart one.
Auto art is good cause you can install led in EM
They bout look good i like the video ❤❤❤
Where is the part 2 of the video?
Auto art is like a Premium version on my opinion
Great comparison. Is this AutoArt model 79916? The photos I see online look shiny rather than matte on the finish.
Yes this is model 79916. It has a more matte finish compared to model 79911, which as you said, is shiny.

The one with the black steering wheel and seatbelts is the more accurate one, so that is something that would interest me more.
I found one at the thrift store today for a dollar
Can the front nose section be removed from the Sunstar screwsect?
It looks like no. I looked at it more closely and it looks like the front clip is molded into the body permanently.
Love the SunStar, the Price is to much for the AutoArt ....
modelldiecast the headlights alone on the Sunstar don’t bother you?
Where did you get the autoart from?
I got the AutoArt online for $199 (before tax and shipping). EBay.
@@themodelcitizen988 what’s the sellers name ? I wanna get one

@@themodelcitizen988 I have both now and don’t like how the autoart has no weight , but it does look better
When this baby get up the 88 miles per hour you'll see some serious shit
The Sunstar Delorean diecast was cheaply built Autoart is a better company
but it is too expensive oh hhh🙈
