Thanks for this, from the UK. I have the GTi variant of this kit (03242) and most of the details - and faults - are the same as in this release. In mine though different wheels are supplied instead, alongwith some of the parts being in red plastic... for some reason. (the wheels being in this shade of red too, albeit below a layer of chroming, so trimming off sprue nubs is extra-fustrating) Overall I think Fujimi were needlesly lazy when tooling this kit back in 1992, as there's so mary areas where they could have done far better for minimal effort, and had a more modifyable product. (particularly in the engine bay, running gear & interior / lack of any door or boot features) Good to know though that the more common CL / GL releases of this kit do have the main body and other parts in white plastic, which'd be easier to paint.
