Pros 

Easy assembly.
Clean molding with no flash.
Most parts removed without sprue stump damage,cutting down on clean-up.
Clear glass snaps into body,with no glue required.
Clear,multi-language instructions with painting information.

Cons 

Minor mold lines located at front bumper and rear bumper. Very minor clean-up.
Hood/cowling area suffers from sprue stump if not removed carefully.Hood edges have very minor flash.Again,easy clean-up.
Typical silver molding has swirls.very minor.

Comments 

One of the best,molded car bodies with very close resemblence to the 1:1 Supra.
Engine,drivetrain and other parts are cleanly molded and easily assembled.
Tires have great tread detail and wheels have good plating.
Optional left or right hand drive interior parts and import/export options.
Can be built with or without rear wing without drilling holes on body.Wing locator pins can be removed,which I prefer instead of filling in holes.

Recommended for builders with moderate experience but easy for beginners too.
