There's a typo in the name stamped on the engine manifold (HERCUELS instead of HERCULES), probably to avoid licensing issues...
...But everything else looks great

Noticed that too, sad they have to do that kind of thing to not get sued.
Will watch for sure, build on Miloslav.

Are the rubber tyres and kit wheels inaccurate?

Tires are good.
Tires do not fit well on the wheel. When the take off their every move.
Not a good stick.

Looks great Miloslav. Love the weathering.
I personally do not like using rubber tyres. Paint does not always adhere properly and will not take the risk that it peels or even split later. It doesn´t always have to do with accuracy. I know many car builders here, cast their rubber tyres and use the resin wheels on their models instead.
