I am a drag racing fan and built this kit in the mid-90s. It went together well with no issues and has enough parts and detail to form the basis of an ultra-detailed model. The parts were nicely molded with minimal flash. I elected to cut the top of the bodywork free in step 8 in order to better display the cockpit area. The injector hat, valve covers, and front wheels, while not bad parts, were replaced with better looking aftermarket parts. I also added numerous scratch-built and aftermarket details. Good quality decals finish off the model, however, some of them caused yellowing of the white paint. My understanding is that new decals accompany this latest reissue, so perhaps that will no longer detract from what builds into a very attractive model.
