Message: I may be wrong, but that trim is Photoetching which is the bain of 1/43 and all resin.... ....I have had my say against photoetched parts on the 1/43 board but the new resin manufacturers seem intent on using it for resin models. I decided never to buy a resin model if they are going to use Photoetching. Hope it is isn't Photoetching because it is tough to get back on especially all those tiny parts. Photoetched parts never stay on resin very long.... Need to find some other kind of trim for resin if indeed they did use photoetched parts..... I even detested the photoetched windshield wipers some of the 1/24 Mint cars used for a time. Glad they did away with the blasted thing....
