Unusual Question on Tamiya's Tyrrell P34
I don't think this XB version (item no 57738) was released in the States and I kinda bought it out of impulse. I found that the ELF sticker on the rear wing is upside down. Please see photos. At first, I couldn't believe it and had to check out the English version of Tamiya's jap website and it indeed shows a picture of the inverted "ELF" too. http://www.tamiya.com/english/produc...rell/index.htm
I've seen Tamiya's static model of this car and it has the "ELF" in the normal orientation. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it something specific to Car Number 3?

Thanks. On car no 4, it is the right way. Strange... Do you think it was done on purpose to distinguish between the 2 cars from an aerial view? Did they even used helicopters to cover races back then?
