I thought the same thing..... Something not quite right with the way it looks. Possibly it's a case of an accurate model not looking 'right'. I know Tamiya used to exaggerate some features to make their models look 'right' in a way an accurate replica wouldn't...

What are you basing your observations on? The picture on the Hiroboy website? Or have you seen some pictures of the actual model? If it's just from this single picture I wouldn't be to worried, I think they'll make the actual model the correct shape.

Hi all,

The MFH 1/24 Lancia S4 looks wrong". How can a company like MFH make a mistake like this in a +300€ model? It seems a old die-cast!!!!

Can this be only a test model, and be fixed for the final release? That was right in the 1/12 version....

Best Regards.

João

Hmm, the S4 on this photo seems to have smaller windows, so this seems to fit the MFH kit

Wow, now I see the problem. That really does look terrible, like some cheap die cast model. The proportions are all wrong and also the sit of the whole model looks 'off'. Not what you'd expect from an expensive kit at all. If that's the final model shown in these pictures I wouldn't buy it, not if it looks like that :(

What I can see on MFH photo, is that the door sits off it's place a little lower, so it gets an illusion that upper door frame is bigger than is should be.
