Here are a few pictures. This is not a spectacular model but the chrome trim is nicely done. Maybe it's the color that doesn't pop out.

I have this one in black, which really contrasts well with all of the chrome.

I have a model of this car in yellow/gold and it is terrific. Your picture of the car in white makes it look drab IMO.

I think it would look impressive on the actual car but not so much as a model. IMHO the extensive chrome begs for a color that contrasts better.

@jack-dodds Stamp is not very creative about color choices. The black one was was considered but I already have too much of them and the green looks a bit weird from the promo pictures. This is the first white car in my collection.
As Bob Jackman said, Yellow would have been more attractive as DM did in 1/24 scale. This was a fabulous model in the heydays.

@nickies Yes, my 1/43 scale is by MiniMarque and my 1/24 scale is by DM. Both are outstanding models.
