Gunze Sangyo Hi Tech?

That XK-SS looks great so far, and superb colour choice for showing off the curves of the body!

Gunze Sangyo, Revell & Heller have all done 1:24 E-Type roadsters (the Revell might be a 1:25?), and Heller also did a matching coupe which is far more common than their roadster. However, of the two versions Gunze did, only the Hi-Tech has an engine. I've built the non Hi Tech one and it is a nice kit, with excellent wire wheels (but not quite as good as those on Tamiya's Jag Mk2). The only icky bit is that the chrome headlamp surrounds are a decal, but I'm sure that this could be remedied with BMF or similar.
