Interesting points you made about the car and kit. I hadn't noticed some, like the wheel thing. I agree that the Hiro spokes are too fat!
I noticed some others like the curvature of the side windows being wrong ( too "peaky" and i think the proportions on the rear end are not really accurate.
I'll follow your build with interest. So far i'm still hoping Provence Miniatures will re-release their full detail 1:43 kit. If not i have to decide wether to get the Hiro or Renaissance 1:24. Question is, which one needs more help....
