This release and its companion
Choosing one for your collection
Check the orange finish along the edges of each engine cover and at the low front corners. An open-cover photo is useful, but a closed view is essential for seeing whether the rear panels align.
Inspect the bright wheel faces and dark side stripe for rubbing. If the acrylic case is included, ask for a photo with reflections reduced; a scratch in the clear cover can otherwise look like damage to the orange body.
Collector questions
Are the rear tires supposed to be wider?
Yes. This GLH83 release uses a wider rear tire pair. Compare each axle with its opposite side when checking for a mismatched replacement.
