A while back I sought out some feedback here about a new model brand from China called Xerox. The speculation was that they were reissuing some Ilario models at a lower price point under a different name. So I went to AliExpress and found the Duesenberg right before Black Friday when they were offering additional discounts. So I picked it up for $165/shipped.
I'm overall very pleased with it and happy to have a model packed with a ton of details. Thoughts?

It looks fantastic, Randy. It has all the bling and features of a far more expensive model. I love the dash!

The model looks quite nice. However, I wonder about the choice of a company name "Xerox".

Looks like a fantastic catch Randy.

This Duessy looks fantastic but I'm more impressed that you actually received something from AliExpress. I, along with a friend of mine, have all but given up on that site. 90% of all models we order NEVER arrive. All we get for our patience are REFUNDS.

Wow, that was a steal for that model - do you have an Ilario to compare to? I hope they did not steal their designs!

@karl I do not have the Ilario… it’s beyond my price point. By calling themselves Xerox, they may be admitting to duplicating someone’s designs…

Yep, it's pretty obvious! 😲

Definitely an Ilario knock-off. Xerox offers quite a few other Ilario models as well.
