The JGTC Z car (Xanavi) doesn't have covers, and IIRC the Peugeot 307 rally car's chassis was similarly compromised. Haven't seen an NSX. Exposed screw heads = lame. Cleverly-hidden screwheads = what we should reasonably expect from Tamiya. I think they got the memo

Interior pics enlarged 3-4X over actual size and viewed on a monitor = people making incorrect assumptions.

View the model in person = typical Tamiya detail.

The enlarged photos trick you into believing the details aren't up to snuff. Everything in the interior looks fine, and with careful detail painting, some flocked carpeting and seatbelts (aftermarket stuff), it will be amazing. There's no less OOB interior detail here than w/the CGT or Enzo.
