Drinks Lovely model and great effort in bringing out the details. This is in fact a good, solid and compact model from Welly in terms of finishing and detailing aspect. I had to let go of this one for the elusive Romeo 8C, would definitely snap it up the next if it's still around the corner. The interiors are done really well, especially the dashboard with that woodenesque feel. Great acquisition, mate. Way to go......

Very cool model, love her overall style and those flowing lines are so classic. The front grillie is a standout design for me. Excellent detailing and finish for the price by Welly again! Smile

Congrats Abhi Smile

The second picture is so damn nice. This is one great rendition by welly, infact in the budget brand Welly has upped his ante by leaps and bounds. I have a chop top Big Grin version of same in 1:24 by Minichamps.

Thanks dude. I went to the store to check on new arrivals and no intention of buying. As soon as I got my eyes on this beauty, I couldn't refrain myself.
