I find it odd that they didn't do a very good job of replicating the Model Team
set in the larger scale. Even the color of the wheel hubs is off! It is
interesting to see the smaller scale model of the sculpture that must have been
used as the model for the larger sculpture.
Ironically, this is one venue where a huge LEGO car sculpture looks primitive
(compared to the real Ferraris sitting around)!!
