I think drawing those black outlines to simulate shut lines is kinda tacky in this scale. They should’ve just let the grooves do their job, they look just fine on PMA, Spark, etc. models.
Agreed, it looks a bit too much but on the other hand, the pictures might magnify the issue. It’s not going to stop me buying one…
See, that’s exactly what my problem is with the outlines… I’m confident it doesn’t look that bad when you look at it in person but once you start taking pictures and using your macro function, like you said it gets magnified and it makes the model look like a toy. This is no Gundam model, lol!
Still nice to see these models represented in 1:43 though. I’m more interested in the 240-260 series though, those cars have this classic character to them.
