130€ in this car...

Not really great, I don't see anything...........

please repost your picture, thanks.

 

you didn't get the car from the first picture....

 

Very interesting and it doesn't speak for the company you got it from. I agree there are major differences that shouldn't be there for that price.

First the good news: The red is red and not orange as in the pic at the bottom

The wrong tires is unexcusable. So is the unpainted mirror and fuel cap. I can understand why they didn't bother to put in the additional vent hole in the front, that is a major pain to do. They can be forgiven for that, but they shouldn't show it in the first pic.

Not turning wheels is not great, but fairly common in customized models. These are static display models after all.

What happened to the front is a mistery. It is totally wrong anyway, even in the first pic. The car had a black underbody wing and a yellow hook ring. Also the rear wing support struds are black.

What went well is the transformation of the engine cover. Nice job there.

So bottom line is:

a) I'm not impressed with the job they did. However:
b) What's wrong you can easily fix yourself and end up with a great model.

PS: I believe our sponsor Cavallino Models offers the F50 GT taylormade for $ 200 and in perfect condition. So you paid about $ 150 and have to make some changes yourself. Sounds about where the market is, doesn't it?

 

Do you have a copy of the ad/auction which shows the wording and pictures?

 

What the heck happened? Try to go through eBay (if that is where you got it) and try to get your money back.

 

Actually I wouldn't do that as the defects are fixable. If anything I'd ask for a discount.

BTW: I checked the front wing is indeed red (not black as I stated), but the shape is all wrong, but could also be easily fixed with some sheet metal, putty and paint. I'm not trying to downplay the issues, but the though parts (the engine cover and roof) are done well, so I wouldn't send this back.

 

Okay that sounds good. At least get something back.

 

Reading the auction he actually does clearly state at the top in big letters that the product can look different from the pictures. So you might be out of luck.

Also I looked closely at the parts listed in the kit (he used) and notice the wrong front wing. So he basically assembled what he was supposed to (didn't do a great job but that's besides the point). Weird that they deliberately came up with that wing. Makes me wonder whether this front, that we consider wrong might have actually been used in one of the three cars?
