The kit has a very basic parts breakdown, at the front end you get a one piece moulding of the upright, brake duct, rotor and stub axle, there is no representation of the caliper at all
, at the rear you again get a one piece moulding but this time both uprights and the drive shafts are moulded as one.
As this was for an OOB build, I didn't attempt to add any other detail, but the real problem is the wheels have 2mm hole, but the front stub axle is less than 1 mm diameter
, I've fixed it now I cut off the existing stub axle and drilled into the rotor and glued a new shaft of the correct diameter.
The rear stubs are better, and I probably could have adapted them to fit, but in the end I opted to make the same fix at the rear too.

Thanks for the compliment, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out, and it's made my mind up about getting some more of the Revell kits as it seems unlikely that Tamiya will ever get back in the groove
.
Now that I've fixed the wheel fitting problem I will probably attempt to sand the wheels to give them a worn finish.
