Great diecast and photo. It feels like you could walk up to it and drive away.

Have it, love it.
Yep, me too... but despite being a very decent replica, most collectors are unaware of how inaccurate the windshield area is .......... 🙄 😔 😔

@chris Wow Chris, that sure shows the difference! Far too much thickness on the model's replication!

...and the 1/18 windshield is far too short, although my comparison 1:1 photo does a poor job conveying that. Of course, it's not a "deal breaker," but many of us never realized this until it was pointed out years ago. Like we always say.... no model is perfect. 🙄 🙄
