How's the Aoshima Jun Prelude?

Any comments on this? From what I've seen, Aoshima products seem to be very different from the box art, and can have really bad fit problems. Is the Jun Prelude any good?

Molded in yellow with a decent batch of spare parts is all I know. That, and you can see all the parts on Hobby Search.

Paging lownslow... :silly2:

All you need is low down the wheel and you got the same as the box art.

the box art isn't accurate as the real car. it's missing some intakes on the bumper and the hood same with the kit. the rear wing is not correct either, the mounts are to close to each other. the front chin spoiler though is the same as the real ones and fits somewhat ok. the tires are alittle too thick and need to be changed to lower profile ones. but all in all it's a decent kit.
