Great video review of these 1/43 jewels from Goldvarg ! They look superb.Somewhere I have an old magazine with a road test of the Crosley Hotshot by Tom McCahill.

Do the luggage rack and suitcases come with the yellow version?

@jack-dodds, no. The rack and luggage come with the Pan Am and the blue one.

My blue one arrived two weeks ago. A wonderful model and the luggage is a nice touch.

Well John you beat me to it, once again. But at least I can point out the correct spelling of Crosley.

@mg-harv Very nice Harv; I love that luggage rack w/luggage!

Q: Are you going to fix that antenna or replace it with (in scale) fine piano wire?

@chris I hadn't noticed that. Looks like I need to contact Sergio.

Lol, it is, John ! I remember he did part of the road test with his dog and in one case, during hard cornering with the Crosley Hotshot, the door popped open. But everybody was OK !

Wonderful little model. I just ordered the blue one. What was the reason for 2 different front ends?

This one definitely put the Brooklin rendition to shame.

I wanted to get the yellow one but went with blue because of the rack and luggage.

@chris No piano wire needed! Sergio sent me a new one free of charge! And also with a gift that he didn't have to do, the replacement was more than enough. The hobby needs more guys like this! BTW, for those not on Facebook or getting his e-mails, his scale model museum is coming along, most of the walls up.
