The model has black rims, a used in training and presentation
I guess the team used what they had during the race, because some time in the race the #75 had used the black ones
conclusion: As starting model wrong, as race model OK
That's their story and they're sticking to it!!!Jager wrote:Well spotted Danny. From an accuracy point of view I prefer the silver rims, but from an athletics point of view I think I prefer the black rims (silver rims are very common among the other cars in my collection).
Perhaps what Spark should have done is put the silver rims on the left side and the black rims on the right side. That way you could display it whichever way you please
Danny, I received and photographed my #19 Porsche 919 this week (43LM15), but it didn't have the problem you indicated above. The HY decal is on the drivers right and the P1 decal on the drivers left exactly as the car appeared at the race ?danny wrote:The Porsche 919 with #19 has the decals on the nose "HY" and "P1" switched. This is only on the models with the number 43LM15. The ones sold with the trophy are ok.
Do you need a replacement decal for this Ian?Jager wrote:Spark don't seem to make too many mistakes these days, but over on the French Le Mans forum they've noticed Spark has mistaken the "ÉCURIE BRETAGNE" logo on the front bumper of the '78 #62 Porsche for "HUÎTRE BRETAGNE".
I saw a lot of wrong ones shortly after delivery by spark. Maybe there is a second batch with the right decalsJager wrote:Danny, I received and photographed my #19 Porsche 919 this week (43LM15), but it didn't have the problem you indicated above.

You can see in your second picture the Marlboro decals are supplied separately on a decal sheet for you to apply (see sheet in front of model on base). That's pretty standard these days for tobacco logos.dbonser wrote:Did Spark really omit the Marlboro text from the 1989 Rallye Côte d'Ivoire winner decals? It looks like the model just hit some of the French & German sellers and none of them show the Marlboro text:

That's just the red part of the logo. The word Marlboro is not on the decal.Jager wrote:

It did. It's in the pictures I posted.David MG wrote:Looking at the 1:1 it didn't have Marlborough text.lemans_mike wrote:

Yes the pics of the actual car show Marlboro text at the top of the windscreen, and 27 Rallye Côte d'Ivoire on the door panel...dbonser wrote:That's just the red part of the logo. The word Marlboro is not on the decal.Jager wrote:

They're not. I checked with Rallye Fanshop and the owner confirmed the Marlboro text is not on the decals. He, in turn, is checking with Spark but, so far, no answer.Glen wrote:Could the pic of the decals even be censored? Seems weird to have separate decals of the logo and don't add the text.
