I agree with everything said except for that part, I am not sold on the tires, its my opinion that they are utter cow turds, horrible round blobs that are being called tires. -

I am going to go as far as say the new kits are on par if not just a tad bit better then those from the 80's/90's , and those are some really good kits, so I am really impressed with Revell on these kits. -

2016 GT86, box stock of course, I did mess with the ride height a bit, not happy with that part, paint is Subaru C7P Lightning Red and a coat of clear syrup. Wheels were stripped of their chrome and painted TS Black and AlClad Polished Aluminum. Since this is an Arizona car, it got the windows tinted.
