Hi Guys- I just was at a local auto parts store(the competition) and they had a few 1/8 scale metal cars on clearance- $9.99, so I bought two- the last Miata(for my sister) and the last Spitfire- a 70 MkIV in BRG. I was just enjoying the detailing in this one, H1041 from "Chrono" when I noticed one small, but really wrong detail- The horn button emblem. I had thought that it had been changed from a Triumph "Truncated dragon wings" late in the 60's to the word "Triumph". Regardless, they had that badge, but wholly inverted in the middle of the wheel! It does not appear to be a decal, rather airbrushed on. Beautifully done(well, for the price) but upside down.
And, they included an antenna on the left rear wing- but no radio decal on the dash support! Obviously they detailed this model from a restoration in progress...lol They hadn't found a radio for it! Does anyone else have this model, with these issues? I always seem to get the screwed up items. I guess that is because I think they're special because of it...lol Scott proud new owner of a 1970 MkIV(1/8 scale) 1964 Herald 1200 Convertible (1/1 scale) /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
