Price: $38.39
This kit is a modified reissue of their 944turbo kit, and the kit is very well done.  The engine features correct intake and valve cover with fairly decent 3D details.  The suspension and drive-train assembly appears correct, but the transmission case is molded to the chassis.  Hasegawa captured the 928 inspired body nicely, and the hood fits to the body very well.  The interior is basically carried over from the 944 as the real car, but Hasegawa paid attention to the details by providing the door panels with grooves and the airbag equipped steering wheel.  However, no material is provided to represent the floor carpet, unlike their 944turbo kit.  Although this kit is a little pricey, the quality of the kit is very good.
