1/12 Caterham Super Seven BDR, what's in da box:

[The Creative Explorer]

In another topic I was happy about finding my holy grail and there was a request to post some inbox photo's for all the 'mortals' that don't have the kit (JK).

So, here it is, and it is a lot! before I owned the kit, I was very intrigued by the aluminium panels. But once I have it, I found that there is so much more to this kit. Much more.

Most of you know the box 'art':

 

A look inside the box only shows the tires, sprues and the alu panels

 

Underneath the alu panels is a box containing the next:

A Tamiya sanding sheet

 

We have the alu panels itself

 

Look at the details of the louvres, amazing

 

Aluminium brackets

 

Carpeting for the interior

 

The wheels

 

Clear sheet for the windshield, material for the airfilter and more

 

This is a bit more common by Tamiya kits: fabric seatbelts.

Some wires, and a screwdriver

 

More aluminium panels

 

First bag of diverse screws

 

Second bag of divers screws

 

Metal bars

 

Aluminium floorpanel and parts of the aifilter

 

Which come with stamped in 'K&N"

 

Aluminium windshield, front and back

 

Aluminium floorpan, front grille and metal brackets

 

And a all metal & polished exhaust system

[The Creative Explorer]

The middle section contains all the plastic sprues, which are not a whole lot

 

 

The chrome is nice, albeit a bit think

 

This sprue contains 2 little holes, which are in fact 2 practice holes for getting familliar to those little screws

 

 

And last but not least, the remaining body panels. although they are 4 fenders and the nose cone, rest is aluminium

 

The other box, underneath the tires contains the following:

The tires

 

Some more metal parts (suspension, DeDion axle and a wrench)

 

The spaceframe

 

The engine with gearbox

 

And the clearparts

 

 

I hope you do like the in-box review

x 2. Friend of mine used to have a Lotus 7 replica with a Toyota 1600 twincam. It was scary fast around the track.

These photos just rub it in that I should have grabbed one when they were in production.

There were three different versions of this kit if my memory is correct.

Awesome set of pictures, thank you for taking the time to do that

In typical Tamiya fashion, it looks perfectly made and just ready to leap into assembly...I agree on the lovely louvres

Nice stuff and congrats
