The screws are what the kit provides to secure the front suspension parts.
I used to see how it looks and yup, they look a bit weird.
I may just have to replace them with simple styrene "plugs".
The front suspension needs to be cleaned up anyway and taken apart to make room for some wiring.

Correct on all three points.
The sides aren't curved enough at the sills and the front wings don't rise as they should. I'm not too bothered really as this build was more about the research and detailing for me. As for the rear of the car, it only requires a bit of sanding to fix unlike the wings and sides where you need to add material, so it isn't too much of an issue.
The Fujimi kit does have a great body but that engine+gearbox is a little disappointing (not that you can see the disappointing bits when the kit is completed). I will probably give that one a go once this one and my Italeri one is done.
