New Vanguards arrivals to the 1/43 garage

So Santa came and delivered two more additions to the 1/43 garage.

VA12200 - Ford Sierra XR4i - Cardinal Red

VA10307 - Ford Cortina MKIII 2.0 GXL - Evergreen

Notes:

As can be seen from the pics of the XR4i, the rear bumper is not on properly. I am quite annoyed with the quality control issue, and this model should never have been released unless it was properly checked....

However, a good model to have in the garage, but won't be displayed due to the dodgy bumper. (No, nothing I can do as this was a X'mas present).

With the Cortina, I am still not happy with the wheels that are on the model.



As from the photos and the original Cortina image as per above, the wheels are just not right, which detracts from the model itself, which is a half decent casting.

They got it right on the 'L' model, but why not the GXL????

Same thing happened with the Dolly Sprint, whose wheels were on the model are shockingly bad.....

So, not bad, but could be better

Next models due for review are the RS Cossie 2dr and the 309GTi.....should have those back home in 2 weeks time.
