    Why is that? Going by what I have seen it actually seems to be a tad more accurate.

    No doubt. I noticed they said it will be produced in limited quantities. I didn't know that - nor do I believe it.

    Today I found a note from the mailman, I wasn't at home and can pick mine up at the post office tomorrow...and pay 78 Euro import duty and VAT, grrr. Thought they raised the lower limit for being taxed, and besides it's just a toy!

    Just enough that by the time I can buy one it will be out of production and twice the cost lol.
    To be honest I have no idea on the production limit they set, or even the cost..
    Beautiful car though.

    Building my 1:1 working scale model (308 based)
    Btw I don't like how the wheels on the Tamiya sit, too much neg camber and too far tucked in.

    I'm surprised the reps don't know how many they plan to make.

    This is my first post...I am looking to get this model, first and only 1/12.
    Other than the aforementioned qualities and attributes, what other details does the model have?

    Movable stick shift and sun visors? Clear faced guages? Can some of the owners shed a light on this?

    Many thanks!
