Ah - I'd (mis)understood that it was a joint project.

That's what I assumed as well.

Btw, Air Trax do some in resin - 404, Chambord and 24CT respectively. A 203 would be interesting as would a 304 cabrio.

Yeah, but for the money they ask I'd expect somewhat better quality.

The middle car is an ID, and that colour (AC-303) wasn't available on the DS models,

Just paint it that colour and say it's an ID.

AMT is ancient tool, but really nice build, things fit, good engraving. Side vents not great, but OK for '65.

Actually, they changed between some incarnation and another.

Initially they were open-work, but then morphed into relief. The Matchbox-AMT issue I built eons ago certainly didn't have them open anymore.

Here you can see them centre left from the "Autobahn" version:

Here they are centre right from the "Prestige" version:

It looks to me like the R4 is a completely different tool that is not related to the Ebbro at all.
