My Spark Yellow arrived today. Detail is amazing, of course. I'm very pleased!

$114 plus shipping's kind of steep. Very nice model, though; they even got the exhaust system right.

I opted to make mine... which let me duplicate my interior colors, too. And I painted it with actual K8 touch-up paint, to get the exact match.






Granted, not quite as fancy as the die-cast one... but my total investment was about $25, with the case. & it even has my license plate number on it.
