To some they may not even see it and I choose to just look beyond that error but other may loath it. Printing etc is just like DW or GJ IMO.
The little 154 is a great.
As I said, I have a few Tucano models, the Cubana is one of them...but the mould looks very much like the PX mould, so if it is a straight Tucano, it's had a little help. When there is an overwhelming "nay' as to a product line, I don't want to risk disappointment buying the product. Maybe if I don't have to spend much (I got the Cubana for $10 on eBay), I won't mind, but normally, I listen to what pass for experts on this forum, since they have the experience. But like Unicorn keeps harping on, it's your money, spend it how you like.
