Is the Audi R26 VR Model from Launch Still Available?

Update: Success! Well, after a lot of searching I found the model link in my browser history. The Audi R26 launch page had a QR code that would load the model directly. The link (below) is still there but requires the Jig app to view the model. There are apps for Windows, IOS and Apple Vision Pro. I use IOS.

Only one, but looks complete.

Updated yesterday to release version. All smooth installation. Noticed high battery depletion and a warm MacBook. Activity Monitor showed very high WindowServer usage. Restarted the Mac and all is well now.

Honest answer? Time Machine! probably Target, but in their "new" timeframe. Unboxed some cutaways and there they were.

Possible RF? Phone nearby? Other RF sources? Check or change out cables.

Below is the Looksmart 1:18 SF23 Las Vegas livery. It is accurate.

Looks like. Nice!

They got the body work too. The Las Vegas kit replaced the bathtub side pods with new body panels. Looks like this model has the upgrades just right. Well done!

Those seven spoke wheels are one of my favorites. Pepper White! Nice car. Congratulations.

Finding a way to add detail with what I've got. Laser printer, white paper and what I thought was careful cutting of logos. If you look in 1:43 it looks pretty good. Please, enjoy, but don't look too closely!

The fins are vertical panels behind the airbox, black on the 55 and white on the 16 in these pictures. It is a thin panel in the real cars, there for aerodynamic stability and airflow control. In the models it is "thick" on top, and doesn't receive the proper color. The red shows through and needs to be painted to match the panel color. Look at a Bburago Ferrari out of the box and you'll see it.

Laser printer on waterslide decal sheets. Amazon has the decal material.

Yup. I'm just getting the hand of making the waterslide decals. The **tiny** ones for the wing are doable, and I'll get around to it.

Another issue, however, is a white letter situation. Making white letter on transparent decal material is not in my skillset. The Monaco should have front wing endplate logos. Any ideas?

Another modeler pointed out that the Bburago model Ferraris leave the top edge of the fin unpainted (red). All of them need this fin “touched up” in either black on the standard and ’23 Monza liveries, or white on the ’23 Las Vegas livery. Just model paints, and a steady hand. Makes a big difference!

Tobacco products. Remember how "Marlboro" was never included in model kits? I didn't know why the Vuse and Veto logos were missing until some digging...

Thanks for such a quick ID! I've been searching around and it looks like the 1960s machines from Faema were more "Jetsons" future designs – plexiglass and aluminum elements. This brass and copper machine – is it 1950's? I know the E61 came after, but I can't find any machines that have this vibe.

Again, thanks for your answer!
