Chris, I agree about the different colored plastics used. There's a huge number of kits that have 2 or 3 different colored plastics so that if you don't want to paint the model, you can at least have some kind of approximation. Just like all the chrome parts. We generally remove the chrome, but I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of casual kit builders use those parts that way.

I'm just hoping it has hinged bodywork front and rear and an engine in it. And doors that open.
And if the body parts lined up properly that would be nice for a change.

I would think that in 1/12 scale and being a brand new kit, that it would be a no brainer. But then again I'd settle for just the engine and front bonnets to be removable, and a fully detailed compartments. I'm willing to spend big bucks for it, so it better come with the needed PE, and Cartograf decals ( or another top AM decal company). Joel

If this kit has at least close to Tamiya 1/12 quality, I'd be very interested in making some resin conversion kits for this.

Calvin, Excellent idea. So I'll have to buy a min of two kits. Still, it all depends on cost & kit excellence. Personally, I'm looking for and expecting a kit equal to today's standards with respect to accuracy and detail.
