The two Illaro models. The colors are not final.

Here the ABC. I think the proportions are wrong, the windshield is too high and too steep, they forgot the tonneau cover, the curve of the front wing are wrong and the rim of the wheels are too big....
And here the original:

Many thanks for posting Christoph! I was curious how the two would compare but I never would have believed the ABC could be so far off!

Christoph, is that on the Ilario website, I couldn't find it.
I wanted to make that comparison.

Looks like ABC really missed it, especially the windshield frame.

Thanks, Christoph. Good comparison and comments.

Neat Christoph,too late for me as I am committed to the ABC.However I am now looking forward to seeing both models side by side.The half opened roof also makes the Ilario a little more special.

Thank you to everyone for the comments, the picture which
was used for this forum is the picture I sent out and which
is the first sample of the model we are making. Definite
version will be ready in a couple of days.
Since I read only critics, I would like to know if there is
some details you particular appreciate, that is out of
curiosity.
If anyone has further suggestions for us, please write to
the official company's address abc@abcbrianza.com.
We will be pleased to answer you all.
Best regards,
Laura Brianza, ABC
