I have it in 'Coral Mist'.  Great accuracy of detail and color inside and out. No wonder these Wildcats sold out on his site in less than a week. The real bonus was the detail on the dashboards where Sergio has raised the bar again. 

The success may also show strong interest in mid-60s Buicks.

@mark-lampariello, the dash was over the top beautiful as were the door panels...and those wheels!

Fantastic pictures, John! Mine arrived about a week ago but I haven't opened the shipping box yet.

Here are pix from my old Sony Cyber Shot point and shoot, the only one way then with great macro capabilities. I got it mostly as a magnifier to see the ever improving details in our scale.  This Buick really is amazing. 

Today's light overcast is just right.  The photos were actually crisp and clear but my cheap laptop and basic photo software fuzzes them over.

Suddenly it's 1964!  Let's take a test drive -----Better hang on if this one has the dual quads...

John, what is the camera you use for the photos you share on the Forum?  Does it have macro or closeup ability?  It's time for a new one.  The images appearing on my camera's screen are still crisp and clear even at really close range.  It's still great for viewing tiny details, better than any magnifying glass. But some other functions have failed, it changes settings at random, and perhaps it's not just my laptop giving me fuzzy photos.

I am of the firm opinion that Sergio has located little 1/43 people and a little 1/43 machine shop to conjure up these details. They are phenomenal.

Mark, I use an older version of a Sony Cyber-shot point & shoot camera. It has 16.2 mega pixels. I need a newer camera, and bought a newer version, but I don't like the photos it takes. So back to the old one. I haven't really looked at anything else, not sure what kind I want or need. Maybe someday soon.

@jkuvakas Could Sergio have taken over a shop formerly run bt Neo? Remember this 1980 Bonny? Even the door locks had a tiny vertical slot depicted.

My Coral Mist Buick and red 61 Oldsmobile were shipped on June 10 and I am still waiting for their arrival. Thanks USPS for your usual unpredictable performance.

@mg-harv, great colors too. If only NEO was consistent with that level of detail and quality.

@mg-harv dear Harv, my factory is not related to any NEO model previously done. Best regards!
