Now, Harv Goranson just posted photos of his model a few days or so ago, and it was those photos that led me to seek one of these models for myself. With the wonderful service from Dave Gilbert @ ToyCarGeek, this model came today. Very impressive indeed!

If anyone is interested in one of these, please let me know. I am sold out, and my distributor is sold out, but I am speaking to Yves Evrat about becoming a US dealer for him and possibly getting more of these.

@jkuvakas Superb! Also, check out the detail in the windshields, and the PE top mechanism!

It simply can't be overstated enough, if 1/43 looked like this 25-35 years ago, instead of being the "blobs" that they were (I'm sorry, but most 1/43s back then looked like that to me ) I would've built a collection to rival the best in the world.

Incredible detail & accuracy that continues to impress!

@jkuvakas

On the closed version, which I prefer the interior details are harder to see. I have a lighted magnifying glass that allows me to see better than my eyes alone. As with the model, the details on the dashboard look fantastic.

I am now the first and only Evrat dealer in the US! I have more Duesenbergs on the way; please email me at dave@toycargeek.com if you would like for me to set one aside for you.
