Lots of minute detail that really makes this car stand out.

Due to the pandemic and working from home, I finally had a chance to get back in scale modeling for the first time in several years. I decided to break out the old airbrush and buy a more recent Tamiya model to get going. This one does not visually disappoint! It is a curbside model, so no engine detail. But the quality is typical Tamiya -- no flashing, minimal mold lines, well fitting and accurately detailed parts & decals, etc. I was not a huge fan of the way the tail lights were designed to be painted; the inner reflector is one chromed piece that has to be partially painted flat black, requiring careful removal of paint to get the desired look. But the end result looked great! Being a curbside, I would rate this build on the easier side. Overall a very fun build for anyone with beginner to intermediate hobby skills!

this was my first experience with a Tamiya car. for the money I expected a full build. it has a very detailed suspension and interior. the hood does not open so all that good engine compartment detail and all the real fun isn't there. like I said. my first time with a Tamiya car I don't know if they're all like that but I did expect more.
