Re my comments in post 24531 (Neo Lincoln Continental)
Received mine in the post today and I have to say it looks a pretty impressive beast (I think "beast" is the appropriate term for the original 1:1).

Interestingly enough, I don't know if the "Continental" script I criticised was just a touch out of focus on some earlier photos, which would make it look slightly "inflated" - I had the same problem when trying to get the focus right on my model - but it is actually very crisp and tidy (and straight) on my specimen. Probably still over-scale, but not to an embarrassing degree.

I still think the whitewalls are perhaps a bit too wide, but they look OK. Nice model of a car whose styling is kind of appealing, in a grotesque sort of way, and Neo have captured it well.

Thanks for the review Graeme. I have this model on my want list.
I should be able to order it in my next round of purchases.

I have the model in black but the blue really makes the details stand out.
