A simple kit with no photo-etch and a low parts count.

No PE or resin?

True, no Photo-etched parts nor tiny polystyrene ones either! The truth is, I prefer the tiny stuff, but only if I wish to display it. The MiniArt kit of this car is more detailed and includes PE. The instructions even have templates to create brake lines from wire. Yet, the engine is so detailed that it is a shame to hide it under the hood.

Returning to this MasterBox kit, I am looking to see if I can replace the vinyl tires.

I wonder what the price difference is between the two kis?

I'm one of those who REALLY dislikes PE stuff and even moreso if it's tiny psarts of PE. That's why I said I might get the Master Box kit.

Replacing the vinyle tires? A lot of people use a kit tire to make a mould and then castthe tires from resin. That way you don't have to worry about the vinyl tires splitting in the future.

Cheers
