Gunze made stock and racing versions of the Bugeye Sprite (Frogeye outside of the US). Neat little kit, I built the racing version, Bigfrit built the street version...do a little search and ye shall find. It's not currently available...I wanted a street version, HLJ had them listed up until recently as being restocked at some point, now they're shown as discontinued. Oh well. They're out there if you search hard enough.

Fujimi's Cobra isn't worth the money. Except for it's gorgeous front wheels and tires (the rears are the same size... ), it simply does not compare in accuracy or appearance to the trusty Revell/Monogram 1/24 Cobra kit which is a very good model. Fujimi's engine is terrible, the body is so-so, and the windscreen and frame are much out of scale. Don't succumb to the popular at A/F notion that if it's made in Japan it will spank Revell, because this time it most certainly does not.
