Here's a mini-pic review of the LeMans Miniatures/Scalemotorsport Audi R10. This is a kit that will let you building either the 1st or 3rd place finishers in the 2006 LeMans. You have to paint the silver and they recommend you use white under the gray.
This is by far the best box I have seen of any kit. It definitely beats MFH.
PE appears to be up to SMS's usual quality. Great double layer engraving.
There are two sets of clear for the headlights. The small bag includes the headlight bezels and lens.
Wheels are nice. The tires are plain but they come with full color Michelin decals.
The main bag contains lots of parts. Sorry about the blurry background. I was somewhat rushed. Not many parts, but what is in there is nicely detailed. Of course though there is lots of cleaning of the resin posts. By far the best pieces in the kit is the brakes. Too bad they are covered up. There is also a paint chip to match the paint with. There were also several small parts like the wheel nuts, but I didn't take them out for risk of loosing them.
Chassis plate is one big piece. No CF whatsoever to cover it! This is my only complaint other than the cleanup needed in the kit. This is a colaboration between LMM and the creators of the best CF out there!
And now the body... The small pieces/fins are separate in either resin or PE. My rear wing unfortunately was slightly warped, but it is fixable.
Decals by Cartograf. Don't need to say much more. Don't know if Revell can beat that even if they use Cartograf.
One final pic of steering wheel. Nice detail.
Now we wait until about June for the RoG version. Hope you guys like the pics and hope you all decide on what you want. The main point is that you need to do what is best for you.
