Not that I'm an expert, but is that front screen correct?

If you're referring to the dip at the middle top of the windshield, yes, it is correct.

Very nice ! These Kaisers look great.

The dip in both front and rear screens looks quite grotesquely exaggerated to me
It looks as if somebody dropped a length of cast iron sewer pipe in the middle of the roof and half-crushed it.
Well, actually, the rear screen isn't so bad, but the front is awful.
Compare it ...

It has to be said the Brooklin version also exaggerates it somewhat, though maybe not QUITE as badly ...

The Ixo model of the Kaiser Carabela produced for the Argentine partwork series probably offers the most subtle and accurate representation of this Kaiser design feature ...

I think I'll stick with that one.

That "widow's peak" windshield looks a bit short or squashed to me.

Just saw one in those colors doing a Google search.

Interesting they did the rarer 2 door version so not to duplicate the Brooklin

I agree, Graeme and Frank. WAAYYY too exaggerated.

I like Kaisers and have several models. I'm not sure about these two.
