HISTORY |
THE KIT |
Snap tite kits are a great way to introduce youngsters
into the hobby or for the more experienced modeler to be able to produce a
replica in a rather short period of time. This one was purchased by your
editor as he needed a one-piece slot car body that this certainly fills the
bill.
The kit is molded in several colors with a dark red body,
black chassis, white interior bits and the usual chrome sprue for bumpers and
wheel inserts. The tires are a vinyl or rubber and the kit comes with metal
axles and pins to hold the chassis in place. A single piece of clear is used for
the windscreen and back window. While it can be built unpainted, those over 14
will probably want to paint the kit and at least do the Bare Metal Foil thing on
the trim. As a snap kit, no cement is required, but it would be recommended.
Since this is a no paint kit, no color information is provided. The kit comes with an extensive sticker suite for the interior trim, license plates and some customizing decals. A feature of the kit is that the front axle has two positions, like the old SMP kits I built as a kid, so one can have the front end lowered.
