They used the TMD kit for reference, they are not using the TMD interior. They can not possibly mold in styrene what can be molded in resin. Molding methods for each medium is very different. Will the Takom kit be really good - probably, based on the pictures. Will it be as detailed as the TMD kit - probably not. But it will also be half the price and an easier build.

Would be nice to know when it will be released or available for preorder.

Would also be nice if Takom became a real company and developed their own webpage.
