Overall, I'd say Round 2 has done a nice job here.  As the last photo shows, the fine detail work of the grilles and license plate has held up pretty well, and there is remarkably little flash considering the age of the tooling.  The chrome looks nice and bright with no swirls or color tints, and the parts look very straight.  The proportions are nowhere near as accurate as the Hot Wheels castings, but that's to be expected since this is a repop of the old Aurora kit.  Definitely a worthwhile purchase, and it gives us all something to do while we await the all-new 1/25 version due out later this year.
