I sooo want to say - ohhhhh thats nice ... but sadly I can't - that is just ugly!! Why could they not at least get tyres and wheels realistically sized

I've always liked the C111 but have yet to see a body that came close to capturing the original. Might have to make one I guess. I do have some orange paint!

The C111 is nice technically if not aesthetically. Front axle has steering and swing. The motor is a delicate small frame type in sidewinder mode. The wheels are the same as on my Marklin 911 Targa and I just realised they are the same colour -

I always thought that the red markings were original as the roof extension bit is very neat but Mr Google suggests not.
This is a model of the second C111, its not exactly a beauty -
