I really like the model. Here is a few pictures. It is striking in yellow with red accents.

The only complain I have is the red paint trim at the rear fenders doesn't meet with the body.

I'm preparing a video on these cars. They are incredible.

I wish we will have a 1936 Cord Custom Beverly Sedan soon to match this on the same display.

Yep, I see it....  but that's an easy fix.  Color-match that shade, apply with a small brush and "badda-boom, badda-bing"  you're done! 😎

@nickies Although I don't care for the look of the Beverly trunk, I'm with you....we need a model of the car.

Received The Auburn yesterday. Love the model was surprised how small it is. I suppose the size is correct but the details of the 1/1 are outstanding none the less.

I will let it like it is. Not worth making it worse. I would also have like they install the trunk handles in the right position but I may seem too critical about accuracy.

@kenspear Yes, they did a black and a red one.  Both are pictured on hobbyDB.

@kenspear It doesn't seem bad aside from the hubcaps. Anybody has  detailed pictures?

The models of Aubern cars looks excellente. That's wonderful that in future we have good opportunity to purchase all model range of this incredible company of Erret Loban Cord's empire.

I hope that GLM and other chinese brands will pay attention quality and correct some moments:

- not to use cheap filler in resin, which makes models very fragile,

- will rise the assembly of little details,

- will prepare a body surface before paiinting well to avoid the problems with photocopy elements 

If chinese manufacturers of resin decide these problems, it will be great respect for collectors.
