essentially the same thing. It seems like the flawless model is a thing of the past. The models I bought a few years ago from Autoart and Minichamps, even Mattel had little or no defects. It seems like almost all of them do now and I'm not being picky.

There are too many models I'd like to buy, but the versions being offered are so obviously off, I just can't do it. And many of the ones I buy are reconstruction projects.
