i have to get batteries for it, it died last night, i am going to et today, tomorrow, depends on how the day goes. sorry, and when i striped my 1/18 scale die-cast miasto mini cooper it was spotted. like it iodized. but it was like that when i pulled the paint off, so that means they paint over it. even the 1/64 hot wheels come out like that. i will try sanding it to brighten it up then polishing to see if that helps. don't worry i have lots of die-cast models i am working on so there will be pics of many stages of many cars!!!!!
