  • The glider-inspired form is captured with aplomb in 1/24 scale.
  • Headlights are broken down into separate parts to avoid blushing of clear parts when cementing. Tires are solid synthetic rubber.
  • The option part spoiler adds a stylish accent to the rear.
  • This image shows the model assembled yet unpainted. Its parts breakdowns and colors were designed to facilitate an easier masking process.
  • Depictions of the 4-wheel suspension and front panel press lines are a highlight of the underside.

  • The dual axis strut suspension shares some of its design with the Civic Type R.
  • The rear multilink suspension is accurately depicted, as are the compact muffler and exhaust pipes.
  • A detailed interior has renderings of the display and D-shaped steering wheel. 2 instrumentation panel options depicting different drive modes are included.
  • Seats are split into multiple parts for easier masking and a smooth paint job.
  • The folding rear seat moves after assembly. 
  • The opening tailgate can be propped open with the damper strut parts.
