Default Maisto model question...

Have you ever built one of these? How much work is involved? Is it one of those quick snap together deals or is it a time consuming build? Thanks!

Maisto models all come built to my understanding. They are a diecast model company.

Wow,
Never seen those before. That is cool that they come painted. I suck ass at painting those little things.

I built a couple of those kits (spa & sebring S). Its mostly snap on and a couple of screws. No glueing or painting needed. Takes about 15 minutes or less. Very simple. Heres a hint: If you want to give it a lowered look cut the springs they provided in half or just don't put the springs on and it will be really slammed!!!

it's pretty simple to put together. i've got the the red, yellow, and silver s2000's built with the optional chrome oem rims. all of them were put together without the springs, and they surely look clean! will post pics later.
