Pros 

This was a brilliant car to build. It fitted together brilliantly, and came with a bewildering array of accessories - from this kit I recieved two optionable engines, two wheel/tire sets, two front seat sets and a spare engineblock on stand!

Cons 

There were some issues with the front axles - some alignment work needed to be done in pre-production.

The rear window does not have much overlap - place it in the body (after the painting of course!) and glue in afterwards...

That decal sheet is atrocious - only two numberplates???

Comments 

This is a model I would recommend to any experienced modeller - With decals from other kits or home-made ones, the options are limitless!

Pros 

Great kit to build. Every part fits together well with no major issues. Two different complete engines can be built for this build as well as two different sets of tires including the option of 3 different rims to pick from. Nice detailing throughout.

Cons 

The only con I have with this kit is the front axles, they are pretty thin with the plastic causing a weak axle that can bend or break pretty easy also causing alignment of the front wheels to be off.

Comments 

This kit was a blast to build with everything fitting together great well so I would recommend this kit to any type of builder out there.
