Dr. Cranky Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 This photo truly makes it impossible to tell, but I have a hunch it's a model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Definitely photoshopped on to the background but hard to say if it is real or model..............I will find out Friday if my streak is alive or over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Seems to be weight, however slight on the tires, the spokes are just too fine for PE. I say REAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm going to go out on a limb and say MODEL on this one. Thee's something about the sticker on the bonnet that doesn't quite look right to me. Having said that, the entire car (real OR model) is fantastic, and if it is a model, the wheels are downright incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think I see a piece of sprue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm going with real on this one. The wheels are my clue. Very very few model set get the borrani wheels right and these appear to have the proper three rows, though I don't detect the valve stem. The sticker appears to be from a colorado vintage event and would not be something that you would see just any old modeler throw on. If I am wrong this is really a very nice build!

kelson Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 No doubt it's a Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hmm........no valve stems, no weight on the wheels, the door seams don't seem to have much depth. Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperdrumstix Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) It looks real but I think it is a very well done model because the wheel rims have something on them that looks like trimmed sprue on the edges next to the tires. Don't know how many E jag kits there were but this could be the 1/8th Monogram kit converted to a convertible racer. I had one, sold it un-built, and it had some nice wire wheels like these. Also no visible valve stems. I say Model. Edited August 15, 2011 by pepperdrumstix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I keep thinking that it's real because of the lights, glass, and rims, but the grill openings and the "fasteners" on the sides look kinda off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 upon closer inspection, I have to say that it's real, those aren't sprue connections on the rear wheel, its a wheel weight to balance the tires, definitely real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
