I would be worried about the quality of assembly. I sure hope I can get my model kit from Japan.

I've got a Tamiya one that I haven't opened yet..it's a Nighthawk black Fit as that's the colour I originally going to get but changed to Storm silver...

Haven't built it yet, as I'm considering selling it and getting a silver one...

It's Tamiya 1/24 Item # 89591

It's a 1/24 TAMIYA Item #24251, I bought it on Ebay. In this kit, the body is red plastic, I made a best guess at Storm Silver.

I built the same one in silver awhile back - only "weak" point was the small detail decals - the wet, float and stick type that never look quite finished....

Ginza Wagon, are you able to mod this thing out? Fashion your very own Spoon kits? Or are you going with more of a stock look?

I just built the model stock, but used some 18" chrome wheels from an Aoshima Lexus kit. It also has a metal exhaust tip from a Revell-Monogram Acura.

This is the way it looks now (sorry for the crappy photo):



When I was at a model show in Toledo, Ohio, there was a guy who replicated the Spoon Fit — it was awesome! You can get the decals out of another kit; ditto the wheels.
