Comparison of the budget model by IXO with the benchmark Spark Model 2018 Porsche "Pink Pig" livery 24 Lemans winner.

Nice video. I think you're getting too caught up in comparing decal sizes, when there are physical differences like the radiator width, the subtle difference in windscreen shape, wing mirrors shape...and so on.

But a great comparison. I only collect 1-43 scale, but these larger models do look good. Wouldn't be able to have as many though due to cost and space. I'd have to be super thoughtful about every purchase.

I think your main point is valid, the IXO is indeed a lot of model for the money by comparison with spark.

I'm a bit of a model snob, so I'll tend to go for spark over IXO most of the time, unlessits a less important car, or if spark messed the shape up. It's subtle differences that make the model special for me. I think the shape is subtly but definitely more accurate and attractive on the spark.

Do you know if IXO are now resin in 1-18 scale? That's the other thing, if they're sealed resin is best as the paint finish won't deteriorate, whereas some diecast can have paint or metal issues in a few years.

Again, nice video

1/43 ixo race cars are excellent option

Thanks for the comparison & review! I just picked up an IXO from ebay, but of curiosity would you or anyone else mind sharing what you paid for these models? Or where you ended up sourcing them from?
