They're beautifully detailed models, but are plastic with no opening doors etc.

Thanks for the heads up, will definitely be getting one, looks awesome!

The bodies are actually resin, not plastic. The "downside" (depending on your point of view) is that they don't have opening doors/boot/bonnet etc., and are very much kerbside models.

The plus side to this is that they have a very nice finish and things like shuts lines are very neat and to scale. I haven't had my hands on one, but have the 6R4 and Sunbeam on order and have heard very positive things about them, especially the paint and finish, and also the "glass" is supposed to be very high quality and distortion free. Given for me that my models end up on a shelf to be looked at, not touched, this suits me fine

Regards,
Simon
