Just arrived and really impressed. Nice detail, body shape appears to clearly match the Chrysler Valiant sold here in Australia. Excellent interior, my pics do not do it justice. Missing the red tail light lens. Not sure if I knocked it off unpacking, but if I cant find it will be easy to replace using spare kit clear red plastic. Paint is fantastic, its heavy, feels like a mint model. Cost $40US to land here in Australia, I'd expect postage may even be a little less to the U.S. From a French seller I have bought off in the past, quick ship and well packaged. Its a static model, but as mentioned still really well detailed, and for $40 including postage, I'd suggest great value for money.

thanks John, had to buy my own. A 1968 Mazda 1500, still the best looking car I've ever owned.

Geoff:  For a static model, there is a lot of detail that went into.  Really a great representation of the Valiant.

I agree John.  Very nice-looking model, one I'd be interested in buying.  It's nice to know that there are still options out there for us 1/24 scale collectors.
