    It sometimes does not matter how cheap they are or if they are perfectly assembled. I have noticed this company before, and they are able to capture the look and feel of the cars better than most model companies. I do not collect 1/18th but I still appreciate what they are able to do. Wheel size, Tire size, overall shape of the body, it all looks right. I have many 1/12th and 1/24th models that do not look as accurate.

    I have a question... what type of glue used for clear thin windshields and rear windows on risen models? I have a few BBR's and MG Plus models which the outer comers popped free from the body... need to re-fix them

    Have the same problem with BBR.
    I used a small toothpick with a dab of gorilla glue gel and held it down for minute with another toothpick.

    I would use "canopy glue", used to glue down clear parts on models. It's white and dries clear. I wouldn't use gorilla glue but hey, it if works for you go for it.

    Exactly ! This is why I think a brand new 1/12 Tipo 33 Stradale model would be great !
