QUOTE it's the wrong scale for the majority of enthusiasts of this board.
You are correct. If this board spoke German, 1/32 scale would be the "wrong" scale for the majority of posters. So it depends of where one is... In fact the availability of the Carrera and Ninco track with their greater lane spacing has opened the door for 1/24th at home more than anything before. So one may now purchase a 1/24 scale model kit and easily build a car using anything from a Plafit to Scholler to Momo to TSRF to a home-built chassis. And it is my experience that 1/24 scale cars are aLOT more fun, smoother, more controllable than 1/32 scale cars, so expect more enthusiasts to go for it.
QUOTE Considering the Exin (as corrected by Phil) model/mould is 15+ years old I think it was a bloody good representation of a 959 for the time!
No argument here. But a 959 road car is not a 961 race car, and I repeat: they look QUITE different. As far as I know, no 959 EVER raced in anything serious. It's a bit akin to Ninco painting one of their 934 in silver and calling it a "street turbo". OK for five years old, but all of you here are at least 12, eh?
Discernement is part of the joy of the hobby.
Here are the pics of the Tamiya car just with the decals, no paint or detailed interior yet:
