Modeler's 1/24

 The body is too small for 1/24 scale. The actual measurements of the kit
body suggests that it's just slightly larger than 1/25.
|
 The rear is also too small for 1/24
scale, but it's hard to make it bigger except the bumper. The photo etched wing
stays are molded together with the resin body, but this makes polishing work of the area
between them harder. |
 The other resin parts are as shown. Chassis, dashboard, seat, and the
part under the rear axle are included. All resin parts are cleanly cast. |
 Vacuum formed window parts are clean,
and the thickness is even. The front headlight cover and the driving light covers
are also included. The other parts are cast by semi transparent resin. I
wonder why they don't use the clear resin since it's widely available. |
 The metal parts shown in the picture are adequate to enhance the appearance
of the GTS-R. |
 The kit features real rubber tires, and
cast metal wheels. The crews are provided to fix the chassis to the body. |
 There are two trees of photo etched
parts, and one is painted black, and the other is chrome plated. |
 The decal represent the 97 Le Mans car.
The quality is high as usual. |

I saw the Scale Design's GTS-R kit briefly, so it's hard to
compare, but the front section around the wheels is noticeably different. There are
two variations, so I think both are accurate.
