 If you look at the other finished models these fe fc's should look the goods, these are only 1st test shots. The detailing on the EH engine bay and interior look the goods in my opinion. I noticed the special badge on rear quarter missing and the FE front bumper number plate surround missing.
cheers

These cars were modelled from my 2 tone green FC and grey FE. They spent 2 weeks taking measurements and videos and have come back a couple on times since. I have seen later models and they are much better but I have not seen the final ones yet.

No they haven't Gary. But they have done EH in this scale. When they measured up Robins cars for these models they also did the FE. :)

Not meaning to brag but I told Classics to do this at the Model Expo in Surfers some years ago due to the FE FC similarities and great yield from the tool, glad they listened. Classics are so much more switched on than Biante.
Ordered mine.

My fc turned up with damage to the drivers door strip and guard strip dunno who to contact i sent classic collectables a email.

 Pete, i'd contact who you purchased it from.

I went to buy one at a local hobby store and the roof and bonnet were very dull and there was red paint splatter on the sill. It was pricey and wouldn't budge on price, i ended up buying online and delivered cheaper than their retail price ;D. They had a 7 in stock.

I was hoping the FE would be done in a rarer colour such as etna maroon/castle grey.

Scott, would that hobby store be on Main North Rd. by any chance?
Regards Ole.

Post by: collecta on May 12, 2014, 10:12:05 PM
 Hi Ole, that would depend what part of M/nth rd. They have another at Daws rd. where the bulk of the FC models are kept.

Post by: Ole on May 13, 2014, 08:36:02 AM
Thanks Scott, that's the one I'm thinking of. I dropped into the one at Blair Athol and thought that the price was a bit steep too.

Cheers Ole.
