Casey, I was referring to the Gunze Sangyo kit, which I have never seen.  I have one each of the Monogram Tr7 and Tr8 already, very nice molds.

I had forgotten that we textured the cavity surface of the roof to look like a vinyl roof!!

The Monogram TR7 kit is more accurate than the Gunze IMHO.

I remember the TR-7 kit. I did not remember that Monogram also made a TR-8. That i would like to find.

The differences look fairly modest.

Despite the low parts count it still has separate seatbacks!

Nigel.. these models were like "learning multiplication tables"... we had to learn how to design and make the

patterns for modern autos.....  they served that purpose and gained needed shelf space at retail simply

because there were no other subjects like them..

You guys did a great job on these. I'm hoping they'll see the light of day again soon!
