Item number 80722. New Heller scale model kit. In the new style Heller box. Heller kits are French the bulk of the text is in French but you will find all the details you need to build the kit is around 7 or 8 languages.
The problem with this model is it is just too small. All of the steering linkages are just too tiny to manage properly. One would need the skills of a surgeon to make a success of this. Having carefully managed to get the various components glued in place to then move on to complete other parts puts too much strain on the previously completed items and they fail. Wheel spindles are far to small and break off too easily. I have completed the model with my own modifications to beef up delicate parts but a couple of times I was so frustrated it almost went into the bin.
The end result was very pleasing and realistic. The quality of the moulding was pretty good with very little "flash" to remove.. However, the steering components were very small and difficult to construct allowing them to move as designed. Magnifier and tweezers were essential to achieve this.
