My kit arrived about an hour ago..... 3 days from Hobby Link Japan to regional South West, Western Australia...... I thought I'd share my joy of opening the box for the first time...lol
I will post more pictures of the parts unwrapped and full instructions as time permits...... I hope you enjoy these ones for the time being.
UPDATED WITH MORE PICS..... SEE PAGE 3
The box it was packed in was HUGE.... compare it to the Tamiya 1/24 Enzo box.
Yep.... there does seem to be something down there in the bottom of the box.
And just when you think the box is just about empty...... No... theres still an insert to remove...... revealing yet more pieces.
Then theres also the box containing tyres, seats, tool, screws and other metal parts etc.
Strangely, tamiya gives us two sets of vinyl seat faces, one pair in red and the other in salmon pink!!.... I would have much prefered the second set be molded in hard styrene instead and could be painted any desired colour.
The box details mention 653 parts, not sure if this includes all the screws etc, but either way, there are plenty of parts included.
I have to say after a quick look through the contents and the 91 step, 36 page instruction manual this kit has SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS..... EXCELLENT KIT and well worth the price of admission...... HLJ's preorder price atleast...lol
More to come when time permits, let me know if there is anything you would like to see in more detail and I will try to accomodate.
