The yellow Delta reminds me of an episode of Harrys garage.
Lanica never ran the brake coolers in 1993 and the antennae should be straight and not at an angle. I hope Kyosho will fix these minor things before release.
I guess that’s unlikely. Neither Kyosho nor Autoart seem to me like they’re dedicated to the point of actually caring about that kind of details. My guess is that one has to intend these models as a base model offered in diferent liveries and not as a replica of a specific car in the exact configuration for that specific race. Of course for a very dedicated collector\modeller that would probably be unacceptable. And yet, if one wants to start obsessing over details, then, when is it going to be enough? I guess each one of us makes his\her own rules regarding what is an acceptable compromise.
And sometimes they surprise you! Maybe even read your comments. Cheers
