That's 100 more than I thought
You can get them from Escala-18.com for 179.95 euros. But being that much cheaper, it seems fishy to me.
I got in my #007 Lola Aston Martin today. The most beautiful LMP car since the TS020 in my opinion. Compared to the Mazda 787b, it turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. The air intake on the engine cover was loose inside the box. Having spent so much money on this model and looking forward to it so much, I nearly cried thinking of what kind of horror was lurking deeper inside the box. Turns out there was one small additional issue. There is a small mesh plastic part that's supposed to be placed inside the air intake above the front splitter that has come off.
The air intake is repaired, but I cannot place the mesh part back unless I unscrew the whole thing. It is not a visible part when the model is displayed, but I'll have to live with the fact that a model I wanted so badly is not in perfect shape.
I don't know how far I want to go through a hassle of getting a replacement since it obviously is shipping damage and for some reason I don't want to be dealing with sending models back and forth to Italy.
But now that it is displayed, you cannot see any flaws and it looks so pretty. It is just such a stunning model, I just want to hug whoever makes these things by hand.
