Does anybody have any pics of this as it raced on the sunday.....

reason i ask is i have just recieved this car in 1:18 & LOVE IT but while goin thru the shed i found an old poster of the car and i shows the names on the windows appear round the wrong way..

1:1 has Lowndes above McConville, but on the 1:18 is vice versa.. EXCEPT in 1 pic i have seen, it looks like the LHR window has been wound down (this hiding the McCONVILLE) so they has just placed a new name above the LOWNDES on that particular window, problem i have is i dont know when these pics were taken Fri, Sat or Sun??..

Sorry if this has been gone over before....

also noticed a few other little inaccuracys but i can live with those....

Cheers

Yeh, 1:18 is incorrect, but it did change over the course of the weekend... because 1 pic i have has Mc above CL and the other has CL above Mc..

Most recent records from inter say the last 20 have sold for $363, though that value is probably tainted by that one which sold for silly money ($600+ iirc).

Thanks, just checked completed listings on ebay, and in this month one sold for $165 and the other for $295,so I guess with most things on ebay there are big differences. Thanks

In the race, car #1 featured McConville above Lowndes on the left side window, with Lowndes above McConville on the right side window.

It looks like a few other errors on the model were carried over from the ATCC cars ... the PPG logos as mentioned above, 'Ohlins' should have disappeared from the rear quarters, and 'TWR' logos on the rear wing end plates should have been replaced by 'Unigraphics Solutions' logos.

Still one of the best if not the best HRT livery. Even with those errors on the models.

The white stripe /dagger on the rear qtrs never went onto the boot on the real car either.
I did point this out to Biante at the time, but they insisted it did when they took the
measurements to do the model.
