I own the 1/18 scale model and have noticed that a lot of detail is missing on the 1/24 scale model.
I added a few parts but it is far from equaling the finish of the 1/18 model. Best regards from France

WOW!!! I like doing mods and detailing, but if I had the CMC 1/18, I'd just retire the 1/24. Kudos to you for not being as lazy as I.

Admirable effort! Just have to be careful trusting CMC in their research ... this is how the Trossi looked when it had a white seat. It had chrome wheels and the plaques you painted were actually chromed. They are painted on the Ralf Lauren black-green seat restoration which the 1:18 depicts. As far as my research goes, none of the versions actually had an emblem on the radiator cap.

This is a pic of the actual car, the side vent handles are tiny

By the way, the hood length of the 1:24 version is grossly disproportionate.

Here someone created a 3D virtual Trossi, very cool.
