@chris thanks for letting me know, but I would prefer the 1/43-scale.

Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any 1/43 Lucid Air Sedan replicas, sorry.

Ah, well a couple of years ago I bought a chrome 1:43-scale model of the 1968-1972 Corvette from Amalgam, yes that manufacturer....
Turned out their quality-department was sleeping, because bubbles started to form after some months.
They sent me two new ones, both of them turned bad.
The third one is still good, keeping my fingers crossed.
Talking to some collectors they told me that chroming a resin model is a no go, because the resin keeps breathing and therefore making the bubbles.
Amalgam should have known this.
Fortunately the price was not as high as their other models.........
So, buying a chrome model would be my very last option.
