Another model I got with my gift card this past Christmas. I saw a few of these on eBay and decided I wanted one for the collection. It's not a bad kit as far as detail, however, assembly was kinda hard. The windshield plastic was a little too wide for the frame. I actually ended up trimming some of it off. The interior is not a tub and the doors attach to the body interior. It's tricky getting the interior in and getting the doors in the correct position. Getting the dash to fit right with the doors and all was a nightmare. Getting the chassis to fit right was also a nightmare. Lots of repositioning and using a knife to pull the body apart to adjust the ride height. To start the front was higher than the rear and it had the Carolina squat look. It took forever to get it to go in the right spot. SAM_1957 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1958 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1959 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

Model - Lotus Esprit 300 Details added - Carpet, new oem emblems Modifications - Alot of the body and chassis needed removal of material to fit together. As individual assemblies they were nice otherwise. Stance is hard-set with CA glue and hot glue as best as I could manage. 2024 marked my return to 1:24 from a 20 year hiatus, feeling inspired and motivated! Paint Street Blisters Arden Green Mr Surfacer Black Primer Mr Super Clear Pros A tidy paint and clear finish Really happy with result! Best I have done so far Cons Kit Part fitment could be better Finish could still be better in with a polishing process to get a true glass / gloss finish. A advanced build due to number of parts which were unfortunately difficult to assemble together as sub assemblies in the end. Manual is good, part count and detail of the parts is very good.

This car was a pain to build, and it took me a lot more time than it normally does to build, but it came out great. This is a pretty good kit to build, just a little challenging. Love the way the car looks.
