@bob-jackman, good observation. I just put the calipers to the Automodello version, and it is spot on regarding overall length at 223 scale inches for the model vs 220.3 for the 1:1. The model is a little more narrow than the 1:1 by about 3.5 scale inches, with the 1:1 being 77.8 and the model being 74.1 scale inches.

@bob-jackman 

How do you compare  interior details?

I never saw the interior of a MOC other than in pictures. The Automodello has photoetched chrome parts that are really sharp and shiny. Also, I don't see any mistakes in the placement of the fender badging. I would have like to see door mirrors. All 1:1 have them.

This will be interesting to see how Brooklin will be able to improve their prototype to compete with either of these.

@graeme-ogg A very fine point marker wash would do the trick even easier but I am fine the way it looks.

@ed-davis Hi Ed. The interior details on both models are equal and outstanding. I should mention that the top up feature on the Automodello is a plus IMO and it fits beautifully.

@nickies I agree that I would have liked to see the outside mirror as the MOC has that feature.

@bob-jackman I completely agree that the up top option in the package is a nice feature. I believe GLM/Stamp should do the same but I am not sure they are interested to do so.
