If people would read Rapido's website, they'd see that they acknowledge these schemes are "fantasy" and simply to help amortize the costs of the (rather expensive) molds. There ARE folks out there who will buy these because they have a pretty Erie paint scheme, and could care less about accuracy.

The folks who read Randy (et al.)'s article above, however, will know to steer clear of this car. :)
