![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/7/0/6/1538706-129851-59-720.jpg)
Box is top open, rigid box.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/7/0/7/1538707-129851-47-720.jpg)
Sprues are mostly individually packed in separate bags.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/7/0/8/1538708-129851-41-720.jpg)
Instruction manual is fold out type, Japanese only. (Get your Google Lens app ready!)
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/0/9/1538709-129851-48-720.jpg)
3 colors of clear parts, rubber tires and stickers are included.

Usage of stickers is understandable considering it is used for chromed parts but for someone who's going to paint the kit, water slide decals is missed.

Metallic parts are injection molded with swirly "metallic" plastic.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/7/1/2/1538712-129851-34-720.jpg)
External parts are finished with very nice gloss finish. If you're just going to snap build the kit, it'll look good!
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/7/1/4/1538714-129851-68-720.jpg)
Green parts also look very shiny.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/7/1/3/1538713-129851-65-720.jpg)
Other parts are appropriately finished with matte finish.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/7/1/5/1538715-129851-54-720.jpg)
Eh, metallic parts doesn't look that good though.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/7/1/6/1538716-129851-54-720.jpg)
Front fender has a molding line right in the middle. You can sand it down and paint it or if you're just snap building you can sand it down and then buff it out with compound.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/7/1/7/1538717-129851-58-720.jpg)
Gloss finish is quite attractive although they're somewhat of dust magnet.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/1/8/1538718-129851-71-720.jpg)
Rear fender consists of two parts and parting line is right in the middle. You have to glue those parts and sand it down to remove it.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/1/9/1538719-129851-77-720.jpg)
Engine also has parting line but it is well hidden under all the details.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/7/2/0/1538720-129851-14-720.jpg)
Finished snap build. I didn't assemble the clear parts for the headlight because it looked impossible to get out once I snap it in.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/7/2/1/1538721-129851-81-720.jpg)
I forgot the license plate. If you fit the license plate in, it almost hides the parting line in the rear fender.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/7/2/2/1538722-129851-36-720.jpg)
Instrument panel is done with a sticker and a clear part but I didn't finish it because it also looked impossible to disassemble once put in.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/7/2/3/1538723-129851-79-720.jpg)
I think I have to practice painting chrome paints...
It will look very good once all the metallic parts are painted. You can even leave the external parts because they are very well finished right out the box.
