Re: At last! Models ....

Tamiya has two distinct versions of S2000 kit. They're both the first S2000 generation, not the 2004 facelifted version.

Yours, kit # 24211 has the softtop only, right hand drive only, one set of wheels, and only the original steering wheel.

The other, kit # 24245, and only the hardtop, choice of left or right hand drive, D-shaped alternate sterring wheel for the VGS variant and two sets of wheels.

Yours, being based on an early pre-production version of the S2000 has a raised rectangle on the sides, just behind the front wheel wells, where the "S2000" goes. This should be sanded down to be true to the production model.

The 24211 kit is not being distributed in North America anymore. The reason I got from Tamiya is that Honda was pissed that it didn't have the LHD parts to replicate the USDM version of the car.
