Well done on the video. You can use a hairdryer or heat gun, to correct the shape of the windscreen wiper. Remember to insulate the windscreen first, with a cloth or something similar, to avoid reshaping that, too! You can hold the doors up by using a black painted cocktail stick, near where the original car has it's gas strut. My biggest gripe with the Solido McLaren F1, is the rear light and vent area. on close inspection, it appears wrong, to me. My father was the Production Manager on the McLaren F1. The "real" F1 shape around the rear lights and vents is not the same, it's as though Solido "scaled" the rear detail and vent area down. You can see it more clearly in the video posted by "diecast den" at 22:00. The Solido McLaren F1 is a great model at this price point. I have 3 different paint schemes in the Solido version.
Of course I had to have a case of bad luck, and the right door on mine doesn't really line up well when closed, the roof portion sticks out somewhat, like the casting for that door is malformed somewhat.
Yes the doors are problematic, the ankle where are they connected to the roof is bad, when I open the door it scratches the roof on the one side...🤷🏻♂️
I thought I was the only one who noticed that the doors on Solido models are terrible. I've had to return a few models because not only do the doors not stay up, they also fall off. Every other diecast company, even the real cheap ones can achieve this, but not Solido lol
Nothing much can be done. Maybe ask the seller to replace. Or can be 3D printed but painting is another issue. I have a similar model and I display it in an angle that doesn't show the broken side.

Weird isn't it? Lower Priced Maistos and buragos can achieve it! I mean even MotorMax...lol!
@@skdiecasttalks8614 Solido should be renamed to socheap lol
the doors on my solido 956 line up better than my exoto xjr9
Received mine with a broken off mirror which is not in the box.. any suggestions what I can do?

Seems more yellowish than orange.
Probably because of the bright lights I use for shooting the video!
Dude where do you buy models from.
From Ebay and other diecast sites.
