It's old Italeri kit from 1988 which Revell reboxed in 2001 year.
Not bad for 15 years old kit, it have nice detailed engine which some new kits don't have.
Everything is just started nad it will be OOB.

You should take out the shifter and use a little pin with a round head instead.
And I see you had a lot of "italeri-style" sink marks!
Nice job on camouflaging them !
Hope you have a blast building it, and keep up the progress.

Here is new photo after cutting body.

Tamiya is much better than Italeri. I must to fill many pin marks and remove flush. The worst thing that pin marks are on visible side of parts like on bottom side of chasis near rivets.
Wing is separat parts and I just put putty on conestion to the body.
My hands are hurting after so much sanding. :D

Quite interesting to see the detail of this model. I'm currently building the Tamiya kit and it's quite interesting to see the differences between the 2. I'd say the detail on the Tamiya kit is overall alot better, except the underside, which has no rivits.
Will be great to see comparison pics when both are finished :).

It's the first thing that I finished in the redesign process. I'm moving away from the black and will use different shades of blue on a white background. The Porsche 911 is the one I finished a couple of year ago

That kit is not bad at all! I've got the Tamiya and Revell AG versions, I wonder if they build up as good?
Anyway, can't wait to see the end result.

Now another hard part, to complete it. Already have trouble to attach rear window. It's little narow and its't droping through the frame.
It's not perfect model but for 15 years old kit will be nice.
