It looks as if everyone who wants a car in their diorama is going to have a very good year.

Just had the pleasure to see this in person at King's hobby in Austin tx
The owner had the box open admiring the sprues and instructions, it was the last one. If I hadn't promised not to buy any kits that day I would have snatched it up!

The model was just inspiring... It is now on my must have list. It looks superbly engineered and has more detail than a lot of the 1/24 full car kits.
For example: the doors where in multiple parts , all injector pin marks where inside the door panels. You could easily model it doors open or closed, and with a minimum amount of effort you could make them workable.

Comparing what these manufacturers are doing with ww2 softskins, they are starting to make a mockery of the big boys like tamiya.

I'm not sure how I feel about the frame being comprised of so many separate pieces, but I agree that this does look like it's going to be a really sweet little kit!
