The quality of the plastic is good and it reacts well to Tamiya's Extra Thin glue. The plastic seems similar to what is/was used by Dragon.
This is a curbside model with no engine bay and truck area detail. No panels can open.
The part numbers are very faint on the sprues.
Part locations are vague. There are also no locating holes for the trunk or engine bay latches. I used the box art to provide guidance. There is also no positive location tabs for the inside door panels. I ended up lining up the bottom of the panel with the bottom of the body.
The instructions is vague when it comes to showing which parts are options to choose from.
Remember to drill out the hole for the Notek light.
On the back of the seats there are four nasty ejector pin marks. Scraping with a scalpel and using a sanding stick took care of that problem.
The fit of the major parts are good. Test fitting is required with all the smaller parts that makes up larger assemblies i.e. the seats and the seating area in the back of the vehicle.
Of the three tyre options provided, I chose the off-road version without hubcaps.
The decals are very thin.
