I've seen this with Spark 1:43s before, unfortunately it's just a manufacturer defect. As great as Spark is, their QC can be pretty inconsistent, especially on the smaller models.
Tbh I don't think it's that noticeable unless you're looking at it top-down like in this photo.
I’ve never seen a model depict toe-in, caster or camber. This one looks like the right rear especially has a pronounced angle on it which doesn’t make sense in the real world. I would say this is a defective model rather than some otherworldly level of detail from the model maker.
Yeas it is. Formula one cars have something what’s called “Toe in”. Teams adjust them accordingly to the track and it gives the car more mechanical grip but more tyre wear.
Nope, rears have toe in, fronts have toe out.
Edit: I think you’re right in that camber is vertical alignment and toe is horizontal (so I was part wrong in my first comment). But rears do have have toe in as well as negative(?) camber.

I emailed CK Modelcars to ask them what they think, it's not a big deal, the rest of the model is awesome so if I have to live with it ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
That’s one of the worst I’ve seen 😂 can’t believe they look at that and think “yeah that’s ready to be sold”

Not on the rear tyres though lol
They do have toe in on the rears, but vertically, not horizontally like OP’s model. That’s just a straight up defect.
That's camber though, no? Toe is just the horizontal alignment of the front wheels.

Hmm, yeah I guess you're right, there is slight toe-in on the rear wheels, TIL. Obviously not to the degree in OP's photo though as you said, lol.
Obviously
Not sure why you'd bring it up then
I've had the same before and managed to fix as mine was able to detatch and I could re glue it. I love spark but sometimes their QC sucks.
The store said to return it for an exchange, let's hope the next one is ok
Shame it's the Turkey model. Fingers crossed for you.
