SUMMARY
Highs: Amazing slide molded single piece body. Tubular frame and most of the cars mechanical parts rendered in plastic!
Lows: Additional paint masks would have been nice. Chrome decals won't do chrome script on car too much justice.
Verdict: This should make an amazing model as it was obviously crafted with a lot of attention to detail.
