I bought this one about 15 years ago and the fiddly construction and the lack of Goodyear markings for the tires made me put it back on the shelf. Last fall, I finally decided to get this one done. I figured the only way to get this one done properly was to follow the instructions step by step. It turned out to be a three month project as there were times I could only glue a few parts together before I could move along no further. I will say though, the kit is a bit of a marvel for the level of detail given its age as it has a number of the pieces to make the car a motorized toy, which, from what I understand, was fairly common for Japanese models of the time.
Along the way, I found a decal sheet from Studio 27 and painted the car primarily using Tamiya paint. I had some struggles getting the front four tires to sit correctly and the getting the rear wing to sit level. But, I finally got it done and am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. It is one of the most unique race cars ever made and will look good on the shelf. Thanks for looking.
