It doesn’t look like the Revell model has a high wing option. Similar to the Maesto the high wing was only available on the Riptide Blue. My son laughs at me because I am a big fan of the high wing, don’t care, I like what I like 😂.

Quality diecast equals premium prices. Like the Corvettes we own. I have a couple of decades collection of Corvette diecast models. I mostly prefer 1:18 scale. My collections goes through the entire model year offering from Chevy. 1953 to current with over 300 or so pieces. Yes, they are all displayed in my one of rooms. I only point this out because as I comment to this missive, I'm looking right at them. Some sold for $9.95. While others around $500. Bottom line, I enjoy them all including the flawed models. That's what model collecting is really all about.

I agree!! Been looking for one for 2 years now, and nothing!!
