Hmm, but the 928 gods might not think it is a suitable offering & then I would be in trouble. Electrical gremlins for the rest of my life

I'm seeing things that are usually praised here: no side rub strips, no sunroof, dash and pod have no cracks (that I can see), yet YOU GUYS AND GALS STILL AREN'T HAPPY. Just no pleasing some folks...

That is a SIKU. There is nothing wrong with it. Perfect candidate for some artistic work since it is a poor example of an original. I have one still in the blister pack.

Anyone out there with diecast 928's, send them to me if you don't want them...just PM me.

Randy, I have an unbuilt high quality S4 cabriolet resin model from France. What cabrio model did you send Tarek??? Who was the maker?

Just put it next to a model of Lart's 944 and it will suddenly look gorgeous.

My boys play with an 1/24 S4 that I bought them awhile ago. It will someday become a sad sight, but they really enjoy it for now.
