I agree Ross - I was looking at side views of both replicas and originals. One thing that really affects the stance is that on the originals the front and rear bumpers are quite a bit higher than the wheel centres. On most replicas the bumpers are level with, or lower than the wheel centres. The front bumper being lower on the replicas adds visual weight to the nose above the bumper and really affects the "balance" of the look. Small details but it really changes the look.

I wonder why JH and DeHavilland don't correct this to get closer to the original? It can't be too much work.
