The body is molded from high-quality plastic, ensuring perfect fit of all components. The model comes with realistic soft plastic tires and a complete set of precision decals with historical car markings (including the distinctive Silk Cut logo). Suspension, drivetrain, and braking system elements are faithfully recreated. The kit does not include paints or glue, giving modelers full freedom of choice and personalisation in finishing touches.
