Très beau modèle, mais la joie est gâchée par un mécanisme musical défaillant
Those that have reviewed and left negative reviews of this model evidently don't follow the Corgi Model Cub on Facebook where they explained the situation regarding this edition of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. For those that don't follow the club on Facebook, this Club edition is based on the relatively recent tooling by Corgi themselves, which was more of a gift model than a serious replica of the sixties original. They have added the original's bonnet strap and what they call "coach style" wheels and I personally love the hand painted figures which are the best they have ever looked in ANY version of the Corgi Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, including the original. OK, there is less heavy diecast metal on this edition but there's still enough to make it suitably weighty when holding it. The baseplate criticism is only a minor point and I don't echo the comments about the box. The new insert (that represents a cloud?) is especially good! This is one of the few Corgi Model Club editions which I'll be displaying in the box. So well done to all concerned. It may not totally stand up to any rivet counting comparison with an original (and lest we forget VERY expensive) original but to anyone who remembers their Chitty Bang Bang from childhood, this is the one to buy!
Au top!Je suis satisfait à 100% de mon achat!
