The Altaya wasn\u2019t a terrible model, but the silver and not chromed cockpit bugged the hell out of me. Besides, the headlights are also wrong. In short, a Le Mans winner with all that wrong? I&#8217;m definitively not someone that only demands utter perfection, but those details are big. Consequently the model begged for an upgrade &#8211; even though it took a while, I did it. Spark&#8217;s version is not terribly expensive, so if you&#8217;re looking for this model, go the Spark route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now only three or four more needing upgrade.
