Hi all; Let's NOT go into a long potentially negative thread on this subject. I have already sent Dave Blum an email on my concerns about how well the photo represents the actual model. If you have your own concerns, I suggest sending them directly to him at the email address on web page and I'm sure the issue can be resolved. We don't know, for example, if the Ebay seller was contacted and permission obtained to use the photo!
I think it is great paint scheme, one I've wanted on my layout for some time but have not obtained the decals or car for. I wish the convention success with this project. Pieter E.
