Try pulling on the car near a screw (gently ) as you undo the screw.

anyone spotted the deliberate mistake on them yet?

Had mine on Saturday - you need a quite small headed phillips screwdriver to get the fixings out and the hatch does not stay open on mine either but not to bothered as its a superb model.

all models are easy to break tho, they have small parts bound to break if u not careful with them, just seems all these ones on the net are the shite ones that didnt pass the quality test, cuz my local model shop wont get them in for another week and these ones have been out for coupla weeks

strange

Apart from only having one lifter, the other mistake is


The aerial stub is on the wrong quarter panel should be the drivers side rear.

will do when i get home mate, but my bonnet stay doesnt sit across front panel, it points inside engine bay, virtually to the header tank.

Bonnet stays down on mine anyway!

yeah mine points towards that way also, but it just looks liek the end has broken off and looks like a clip may have broken off where it should sit on the slam panel!!
