I have all the Corgi re-issues including the non club models and so far have been very happy with all but one, I was initially very impressed with the chitty until it came out of the box, The sticker on the bonnet is not as per the original tinplate and is lifting in places, the green gold on the grill/headlamps/exhaust is way off the original colour as is the brown of the body tub, the red on the wings is far darker and the boxes card backdrop seems faded out, The worst part however is the PLASTIC baseplate, Why just why? I get it is an complex model to produce but this is in no way a proper replica of the original, I'm sure I'll get a message 'To help resolve this' but what is the point, All the others will be the same and as I'm collecting all the range and not just cherry picking I guess I'm stuck with it, Still it looks quite nice in its box in my cabinet as long as I don't get to close or sit an original next to it.
I hope the next one will be with yellow and white hatch!
Had this model many years ago when I was young but like a lot of things it went missing over the years but nice to have it back again. Also brings back happy memories.
