I dont think its diecast, Looks like a 1:24 plastic model kit by Fujimi heavily customised.

Aahh yes,i think you're right.

So do you reckon it's a modded kit or you can buy it like that?

Id say its customised by one person.

You can buy just a stock looking Type X kit though, which is what that is based on. The doors, hood, boot dont open though.

I have it as well, the quality is pretty poor though unless you spend a LOT of time customising it.

i find there are a lot of marks on the plastic from the molds. not good. but some work with a sharp knife before painting is a good idea

Anyone who has built models befor understands that a scalple is one of the most convenient tools that you can use.

Non of the plastic kits that you buy pop out perfect! So all of the break points should be either trimmed and/or sanded back with some fine sand paper ;P

Thats true, but the main problem though is the small number of parts, which is why they lack detail. I prefer to build 1:12 bike models as the detail is amazing.

Without a doubt, this guy is the best 1:24 scale plastic modeller I have ever seen.
