i have the 1/18 revell, as it was the only one i found that was brg/white and had white 16 inch wheels. it's very nice indeed and i think it got most of the details right, apart from a few minor details inside that you can't really see (i know because i took it apart to paint the interior faux cordoba beige, it came in some sortof two-tone grey/grey-green). oh, the most obvious snafu it perhaps the front grille isn't entirely chromed, it got black bits in the center of the surround (not like the ONE, hard to describe... the actual "frame" around the grille isn't entirely chromed, the slats are all chrome). i'll snap a picture...

i got it just to hold me over until i get the real thing in august. damnit it's difficult to wait...
