This week we received the British Sports Car collection by Kyosho from Japan. It is always a pleasure to unpack the modelcars, because the packaging does not tell which car is inside. The idea is to trade cars with friends afterwards.

But we’re talking model cars here. Again the modelcars are excellent and I can enjoy the simple solutions choosen by the Japanese designers for complex details on the real cars. The TVR Sagaris has a few unique details and these are wonderfully on the model with simple solutions. The overload in McLaren F1 modelcars may scare a few collectors, but now it is possible to complete your collection of any F1 car by McLaren.

We do have complaints though. Quality Control. Or the lack of it. Out of the 240 model cars received, 15 are useless and cannot be used in sale. Mirrors are mounted in the wrong way, bases are loose or do not close to the body work, missing parts like rear lights or head lights, out of alignment mounted spoilers, bad tampo work on the racers and cars fitted to the wrong plinth. Kyosho, you can and must do better than this!
