Hope this is ok to post this but, I was curious if the new Miura that Mike is offering has, what appears to be rubber on the windshield wiper blades (like the 1:1 version)???? It appears so, but I am not 100% certain...

i noticed that as well. even if is not real rubber used for the wiper blades, painting the ends of them black is something i have never thought of. an excellent idea!

I confirmed with Stephane that he did indeed paint the wiper blades. He thought to try rubber but it did not look correct. The orange versions have sold already so I will be adding different colors each day. The detail is fun to see during the photo editing. I need to ask Stephane for some interior photos before the bodies were attached, I cannot get my camera to focus on the interior and it must be seen.

this goes to show you, there are always new advances in the model world, even if it is just a touch of paint, it can make the world of difference in detail!
