Pros 

Nice, clean smaller scale kit that few parts and minimal flaws. The body is nicely molded in light blue plastic with excellent detailing especially in the badges and molding. The rest of the kit is molded in off-white plastic. Not much required in the way of parts clean-up and all parts fit very well.

Cons 

The most annoying thing about the kit was that the steering wheel seemed to be way out of scale for the rest of the interior. Somewhat simple interior and chassis detailing and no engine.

Comments 

This is a curbside kit that builds up nicely. Three building options including sports roadster convertible, landau top or luxury coupe. I chose the sports convertible. Release under the Ceji-Revell line although the box indicates a Gunze Sangyo molding. Recommended.
