Porsche Boxster kits?

[sausage]

I was wondering if any manufacturer made a 1/24 Porsche Boxster S, with a hard top roof. So far I've only seen Tamiya's boxster which has a soft top, and the Boxster special edition.

I have the original Tamiya Porsche Boxster kit and it comes with both Hard and Soft tops. They are connected in the clear parts (windshield, etc) tree.

Noticed that Acu-Steon has a photoetched Boxster S detail set.

besides these, what other work do I need to do to convert Tamiya's Boxster to a S type?

By the way, this has no relevance to your original question, but Tamiya's Porsche Boxter Special Edition is on sale at HLJ for 1400 yen.

Center opening on the front bumper, double exhaust pipes, wheels and brake calipers. I heard that Boxster S wheel of the real car isn't popular, so Tamiya's 996 GT3 wheel might be a better idea.
Boxster has gone through a major modification twice, and the front and rear bumpers are redesigned. Also, for the 2002, the side intake louvers are even to the body surface. And there are so many wheel variations.

Yikes. They should just release a resin trans kit. With all this involved the number of folks getting the photoetched sheet won't be too many.
