Also, there are a couple of deluxe versions in white and red body colors (I believe the white one is discontinued), and they have a set of thin metal parts to represent scripts, logos and wiper arm/blade more realistically than decals or plastic parts would. Those kits are 3200 yen, (600 yen extra).
Which would be the best Murci base for the Scale Production R-GT transkit in your opinon? I'm having trouble deciphering the kits
