I kind of wish my certificate said 25/60 or made reference in some way to exactly how many were made, but I have no plans to sell it so I guess even that doesn't matter.

I would have checked your model again Erik
Mine is different because I know them quite well and was able to pick my piece. The lettering on the wheels is done by me.
Mine is not the prototype, it's production model #13 of course

I am really impressed over what they have managed to produce for this price tag.

All these pics are just amazing...i have no words about it. the model looks very, but very well done....i could say it is professionally done, like a model company would do.

Thank you thorst for sahring this possible. And for making it a dream come tru to many of us. I only hope that they arrive all ok...to the ones that is still missing. Can you suggest us to your friend again and tell him that there are still a few waiting for news?

Yeah i understand. don't know what to say, just sent here a little msg to thorst about suggesting us to his friend, but hopefully you will have it by next week.
and me too. Well my uncle first. i have to wait then 2 more weeks until he comes to Colombia.

The good thing is that we all have the Tracing number. Let's all try to understand the Typhoon that just passed, maybe the airplanes are getting back to normal today and tomorrow, and there might be a lot of thing to be shipped delayed by the Typhoon....well just imaggining what could have happened

The Typhoon has passed, but the fact that the parcel was sent out before the Typhoon, the HKPost hotline confirmed the model go for plane on 14/5/2006.

don't know what was happened.

Re: Defects on your 1:12 mclaren

By the way, rather than 1/12 Mclaren LM, if the company has other 1/12 Pro-built models, will you purchase it from them again?

I don't really have that level of interest on any other car besides the F50 GT, but I would recommend products from this company to others.
