don't tell Jo - she bought me one of those years ago and I never made it

It's ok, I think I got away with it though

I have seen them and nearly imported one, but couldnt justify buying one really

I have always been good finishing off model airplanes etc.

They're not bad, except the wheels are too large.

I made one, better to understand the car I was about to order.

Airfix kits cannot be mentioned in the same thread as Tamiya, BTW! It's liek comparing a british car to a japanese one. These dudes understand precision, not club hammers.

Tamiya aint too bad really, its certainly looks one of the better s2000 kits.

FYI if you import they are around

Scuse the thread resurrection, at least I used the search!

Has anyone found a MY04+ model kit of the S? Or parts to be able to mod the Tamiya kit? I fancy an Easter project to tempt me away from modding my dashboard to LEDs!

Ta muchly

Chris

It's called 'scratching'.

Get the Mugen version with the nice wheels & modify the lights etc yourself!
