It ain't got a T-Top; it's got a Flip-Top.
Beautiful Mako fade finish.

Looks like that radiator hose may leak a little bit.

There are lots of details I noticed in the photos of the model that I never saw in the 1:1.

For example, the "V" shaped windshield, the high mounted mirrors, and the interesting dashboard and interior. Very cool model!
