Locking at ART reefers on the moloco site, two things stand out: first the orange color appears too yellow compared to the prototype photo on the page and secondly the cars appear to be missing the gusset at the boto of the car door. Am I wrong?
Now that the actual models have arrived, I can comment on the issues of the color, the gussets by the doors and the lettering. I have two of the models in my hand. The gussets are there and the color is very close to the color of the prototype car in the photo on the Moloco website. The lettering is very sharp, very accurate and perfectly printed. IMO, buying a finished model will result in a much more accurate and better looking model than one could acquire buying a kit, painting it and using any of the existing decals. There is even some over spray along the sides of the roof as per the prototype. Weathering from photos will result in an outstanding model. Steve Solombrino
