Great model in super color combination. Glad that I added it to my collection.

Not trying to be picky, but although it is a very nice model the one thing that stopped me buying it was the chrome strips of the side trim don't go to the tail light. The black stripe really stands out as a result.

I checked out what you thought about the chrome strip and although it stops short of the taillight so does the 1:1 just not as bad

I hadn't noticed that Jack and you are correct but I still like the model a lot.

The antennas appear to be located too far back on the fenders. How can the manufacturer get something so simple so wrong ?

"Super Nice" model!

The position on the rear fender looks correct to me Steve??

G'dmorning Jack. I looked at the pic that Tom posted. The antennas appear to be above the middle hash marks while on the model they are behind them.

And they look like they're reaching for the sky. I like the model alot, but IMO it's just doesn't look right. And, yes, I know no model is ever perfect. Oh well, I guess I'm too much of an old fuddy-duddy about some things.

Yes, correct. I missed that....was focusing on the distance from the fin end.
