Revell Monogram
Porsche 986
Boxster

Updated : 06/16/01

Injection plastic curbside kit
Manufacturer : Revell/Monogram The parts can be seen in the picture on the side of the box at a retail store.
Scale : 1/24
Date of Purchase : Feb '98
Price: $9.99
Revell/Monogram's Boxster is a snap kit with the skill level of one, which is mostly intended for kids and casual modelers.  However, proper modification and painting will make a model a potential contest winner, and that's what I intend to do.   Because the engine of the Boxster is not quite visible even if the engine cover's open, it doesn't matter if it's a detailed model or not.  There is a kit for the people, who need the suspension details, namely Tamiya's Boxster, but it's considerably more expensive even though it's a curb side model.  I will eventually buy Tamiya's and compare it with the R/M kit, but for now, I'll be concentrating on finishing this kit.
