Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase

They did get back to me with a return slip. While unfortunate, this experience does not make me feel sour. While I do enjoy the model, I will be even more looking forward to the replacement. This car would be the first Jaguar to my small collection. I've heard some banter here and there that AR also...

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase

Kraftig, Did you review a prototype C-X75? If the rear decklid is spring loaded, there would be a release button and a catch. There is no evidence of such an assembly, so spring loaded it is not. From what I have observed, the design is a very minimal dog leg hinge. Do you have a image of this sprin...

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase

Hi Kraftig, I'm waiting for AR to send me back a packing slip for the send back. I indicated to them that I would like to have another model once it becomes available. To the defense of AR, getting rear clamshell to close perfectly is quite a challenge. I suspect the mounting is not well aligned. I'...

Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase

I just received my first Almost Real model tonight. While it is beautifully executed, I'm afraid to say that it is "Almost Good". I just wrote Racing Legends and shared some pics & a video to bring attention some QA/QC issues. Have any of you fine folks in have ever dealt with Racing Legends for a r...

Question about Schuco Porsche 991s

Hello all,
I am considering acquiring at Schuco 991.
I never liked the wheels, especially that are painted black.

How would I remove such wheels to replace or repaint? I am debating how much trouble that this is going to cost me.

Thanks,
Weha
