Comparing to the Minichamps model and the real ones, it seems, that
– the CultScale one is R.H.D. and has GB-number plates
– the front-lights do look less transparent
– the bonnet-badge is not three-dimensional
– the dark blue met. colour (Moonraker blue met.) is much darker than it should be
– the headrests are striped, which they are not in the 1:1 (plain)
– the center of the steering-wheel seems black. It should be in the colour of the interior
– this model comes with an optional leather interior, whereas standard was two-tone
grey velours and cars with leather interior were very very rare.
It is a pity, that a modelmaker does not pay attention to such important and immediately recognisable details before launching a new model ….
Or are the pics of pre-production not in all details definite models?
Well, unfortunately the Minichamps, which at first site, seems better detailed to me, is sold out (looking for a Moonraker blue met. one at a reasonable price).

Love your attention to detail! As for pre or production, we’re not sure.
