DuncanEK3>> im also guessing there the same kit but without the decals as honoturtle metions, just perfered the box art work with this kit

. dont think ill be doing the black and white colour scheme as its the first thing i think of when you think of these cars. i like to think out the box so may be a light blue or silver hummmmm
honoturtle>> read youre thread on the levin and see what you mean about chassis detail, lots of moulding, lacking axle detail ETC, bit like the reissued tamiya stuff (golfs capris). lucky its out of sight out of mind most of the time then lol. what did you make of the interior detail ?
