I noticed that the XR8 label on the side skirts on my Venom 1:43 BA XR8 is using red instead of black on the production model.
Someone else also noticed that the black strip along the bottom of the rearview mirrors isn't present on the models.
To me, the nose of the model also looks quite rounded - certainly not as squared off as the real sedan.
What was it that pointed to the model having premium sound? An a-pillar speaker or something else?
But other than that, this mini-me is some consolation for me having to wait another month to pick up the real thing.
The intention was to give this to my little two-year-old so she'd have something to play with that was the same as daddy's car. But these things now seem too good for that.....
I have the same problem! a 20 month old that wants daddy's entire shop stock! but mainly supercars! fiqures!!
The 1:64 scale has colour screen - hard to see, but it is there.
I'm not sure of the nose,I'll check when my actual car arrives on Wednesday, so only two more sleeps!! but the scale models are only accurate at 1:18 scale in my own opinion.
The XR is in silver and the 8 is in red on all models I have here.
