FYI, American Excellence 1981 Caddy Sevilles are now available ...
Here's the link.

They look amazing.

Once again, with another detail issue.

What are the issues with this one? I'm no expert but it looks pretty good (aside from the wheels)...
Certainly an improvement over the more expensive version by MMQ.

Looking at both models on their website, you will see that the "Seville" script has been placed in two different locations - one on the forward most location on the fender, next to the cornering light, and one between the leading edge of the door and the wheel well. My ref indicates that for the year depicted, it belongs up front (next to cornering light). So when you pace an order, do you just cross your fingers and hope you get the correct model?

I just don't get that. It should be something easy to get right or, at least, consistently wrong!

Thanks, Lloyd.

Consistency IS The Problem In Our Diecast Hobby, John!
I certainly understand that there will be issues time to time, but when they seem to be more often than not (and in different model scales) it makes one wonder "why" are the manufacturers NOT doing their homework prior to final production. "If you can't do it right the first time, just don't do it at all!"
