I've had this for quite awhile. I brought it back with me from Canada. I had a white one to start with, but when I took it out of the box, the mirror I couldn't see, was broken off. So, I went back to WalMart and got this red one. I just did a little painting and polishing. There was a lot of stray black paint on the red. It would have been nice to have the rear doors open, but what do you expect for $10.

You cleaned it up very well... It looks great...

I would have loved to see it in 1/24 scale, myself, but as you stated, $10 is too hard to pass up.... It really is a great looking replica... Just 1/27 scale... Sucks, but... I hope Norscot does one...

As far as the scale is concerned, I've come to the conclusion, this is all about fitting the box the diecast is shipped in. They will make the model smaller even if it's a smaller scale to keep all those cheesy cardboard boxes they're shipped in the same size. It's a shame too. First off the cars and trucks are different scales and second the box provides no protection for the mirrors. I've returned several with broken mirrors after removing them from the box. At least M2 Machines has a plastic perimeter and thicker cardboard. I've never had a damaged car, just poorly assembled ones.
