My apologies to the seller, but that is horrible. The front is awful. The headlights are not symmetrical, the grill is wrong. The rear is also way off. For those dollars, I'd expect a near perfect example, myself.

Just re-looked. You're right! If someone is going truly totally tiny, what's with that Sprite badge on the back, and those head-lights have some sort of strabismus going on.

Yeah, the entire thing is laughable. The proportions are all wrong, the details are poorly executed, and claims like "Minilite wheels" are just a joke. How 'bout that "Jeep" windscreen too? Professional model maker... seriously? Professional B.S. is more like it.

I'll be honest, you sent me to the dictionary...Nice use of strabismus. :banana:

That model would be cute for $20. It's infuriating at $4500. The gall of some people...
