what the hell, it looks much worse, than older Kyosho model of Stratos… that one had more detail. Plus opening stuff. But I had to sell it because it was still “missing the soul” a bit. Yes, externally much better done than, ahem, SunStar, but when it comes to engine bay, there was not so big difference honestly. And because the plastic body panel covering the engine gap started to micro crack its paint for no reason.
Extremely disappointed in Stratos die casts, hope someday Exoto or CMC will do a proper one.
I feel exactly the same way
Let me then say I feel exactly the opposite, it seems to be a very accurate model with real finesse. I don’t care so much for opening trunks, doors etc. for me the appeal is the outward appearance and this model delivers in spades. Love the Stratos.
