I purchased one of these at the show, and when I sat down away from the hecktic show floor, my heart sank when I took a closer look! The pin stripe paint job was terrible! It seems that when the pulled the masking tape for the pin stripes the paint came off with the tape. So the pin stripes had jagged lines. certainly noty worth 300 bucks! I got my money back since it was not limited to the one I had purchaed. I hope the follow on production units do not have this flaw.
