This review is from: Revell 1:25 '99 Mitsubishi Eclipse Tuner Series (Toy)

This was a great kit to build. You have your choice of three different front bumpers, two rear bumpers, two hoods and three sets of rims. This kit needs a lot of detail painting and will benefit from adding some racing seat belts.

It is molded in black, clear, chrome and gray plastic. I painted mine with Model Master Metallic Emerald Green and the interior is black, light gray and dark gray.

I had not fit problems with this kit. The decals were thin and went down well with two excepetions. Directly behind the doors there is a small brake-cooling vent. The decal didn't want to conform to the shape of the vent at first but some constant "encouraging" with a q-tip helped it to comform to the shape. Have patience with the decals over the multiple curves and you will be very happy with the end result.

Definately not a kit for beginners and an intermidiate builder might need some assistance, I would highly recommend this kit. With the turbo four-cylinder engine, it was a nice change from the American muscle V8 builds I usually do
