Hello :
No offense was taken my friend ... none. Of the pictures you mention, I do understand your point, for those shots, I preffer a more ZOOM quality and more pixels too. I am on the verge of getting a new digital camera, a MINOLTA, OLYMPUS or a NIKKON for this. I will post eventually. But yes, it is a model. If you observe more carefully you will notice that the inside windshield and rear window raillings are made with CARDSTOCK paper coated with EPOXY CERAMIC ENAMEL to make more hard and the holes are done by inserting a sewing needle, all spaced and done to scale, trust me, the model is detailed inside and out, I even added the helmet which is hung inside the top. The wheels have two air valve each. The rear window splitter vane is made to scale. The list goes on my friend.
Thanks for watching. Trust me ... no offense was taken.
Your friend ;
Erick
