I don't have the kit, but I know its quality is good, very good!
It's curbside. Some parts of the body are photoetch...
I hope I'll be able to afford the 2003 winner one day (realease in september)...

$$ are proportionnal to the time you'll need to spend on this kit: more than a plastic kit. It's just another way to have modeling pleasures...

I've built one of these kits. It is simple with not very many pieces, but it will take just as long as a styrene kit due to the usual test fitting and cleaning up that resin kits require. Instructions are pretty vague, consisting of a couple of exploded views. I couldnt figure out how all the pieces went together, but got most of them right.

I'm building one of these at the moment. Pretty much agree with p9o1r1sche. It is very well done but requires a bit of tweaking and adjustment to get to fit well. As far as resin kits go it is one of the better ones I've seen. You can find some pics of the build here.
