Models are classed as toys, for reasons I do not know. As toys are for young children they are not allowed to display tobacco ads.
This is however at odds with the statements on model boxes that they are unsuitable for folk under 16 years (or whatever it is).
It is a hateful rule, totally lacking in logic. We have all seen these cars on TV and in books and magazines for chrissakes!
Mattel go even further by not putting alcohol ads on their cars, thus confirming that their models are actually toys. Don't want kiddies suddenly getting the urge to drink now do we?
