Re: Defects on your 1:12 mclaren

Hello everybody.
I have had 3 different 1/12 Dark silvers. I bought them in england. one after another, until i found one with better door paints.
I'm very into the details so every single detail has to be perfect.

Then i sold the other 2 mclarens in EBAY. around last year.
that's a problem that minichamps did not consider, until a couple of yuears after we are noticing those defects.

i think that the paint does something to the plastic peace of the door, or the plastic does something to the paint, and it simply looks different.

I understand how you feel. I felt like that twice. and i had to spend more than 2000 euros on them until i found the perfect one for me.
Because of that deffect, i will never take the risk to buy another dark grey. i'm concentrating on the red one and yellow, which are very kool to have.
i have a dark grey and a blue one.

try to show the pictures, and i will take a look a them.
