Evaluation:

This is the new offering from DOC models, after their FIAT 626 NLM. The quality, while not up to the level of AL.BY is good but not exceptional. While my specimen doesn't have any bubbles or warping, some areas need a careful and energetic cleaning. Also some areas will need some super-detailing, particularly the driving cab.

As far as scale is concern, using the available data, this is the result:

From this evaluation, the current model is near the 1/70-1/69, than the 1/72.
