    Made in China. And regardless of where the corp. office is located who orders these to be made, once again we have proof that this company, and the majority of other 1:18 manufacturers do not care enough, and do not know enough, and the factories in China know absolutely nothing. Buyer beware!

    Hey guys - quick question an expert may be able to answer

    I'm interested in one of the GP Replicas 1/18 Lauda '74 312 B3 models (not perfect but much prefer to the Tecnomodel release)

    GP Replicas currently offers two versions of this particular car

    GP025A (generic version)
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    and

    GP025C (Spanish GP winner)
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Thing is, I can make out zero difference between the two. Anyone know if I'm missing something?

    Sorry to say this Pedro, but the body shape is very flawed, from the front to the rear. I would have bought at least two versions... IF... it had been good. Oh well, I guess I just saved a lot of money... again!

    You are so right Marshall, there are so many mistakes again! :(
    I think, the roof has a wrong shape, it's to round, that is why the sidewindows looks strange.

    John, that profile photo shows how really bad the body is all over. This has to be one of the worst models from Tecnomodel to date... Might make a good doorstop!
