    I wonder what posessed them to put such big honkin flares on that thing? Model makers usually strive for a better degree of accuracy than that.

    I'm going to venture a guess that the manufacturer already builds an RS/RSR model and made minor mods to that tooling to produce this model. That said, it at least suggests that Slate Grey might not be a bad color for an RS/RSR clone.

    Same mold they (incorrectly) used for the SWB Elford 68 Monte Carlo winner. Very cool Frank!

    What scale is it? I have many Fly 1/32 911 slot cars. This looks just like them.

    The outside rearview mirror is wrong and where is the McQueen doll, er, I mean, "action figure" supposed to put the gas pump nozzle? But seriously folks... Frank, it is really cool that you have that car (the real one, not the model). I am really sorry that I missed seeing it when it was here in California.

    it's a Fly so almost certainly a 1/32 car.

    Paul-slot car mfrs just don't seem to give 2 poops about accuracy.
