Hi
It is a kit that leaves a lot to be desired!
I'm in the process of building one which is a major project. I have been digging out resin to open up the sidevents and exhaust 'hole'. I have removed the roofintake as it was rough at best. On mine the roof is slightly lower on one side. The mouldings are rough and the interior is almost useless. The side windows fit perfectly (Etchings with cut it yourself clear sheet) - but front and rear window needs a rethink! Wheels and tires are nice.
It is not a kit for the fainthearted or the beginner IMHO.
It will be a greatlooking model when finished though.
Best regards
Flemming

In other words, It is like most other Italian resin kits. The parts are substandard at best and there has been absolutly no attention paid to how the parts are supposed to fit together. Let me guess, and you paid somewhere between $350.00 and $500.00 for it. I just don't understand why people buy that crap????
