It is highly detailed. It has a one piece body with the glass installed. Being a one piece body there is no engine to assemble. The chassis has an eight piece independent rear suspension with disc brakes. The front is a five piece independent suspension with steerable wheels. The front wheels are one-piece design with a pin that slides into the front hub. The rear wheels are also one piece and they have a metal pin that holds it into the rear hub. The tires are a soft rubber with no names on them. Tamiya supplies a rub on decal for the lettering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a title=\"Porsche 962 001 by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/8281205450\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Porsche 962 001\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8491\/8281205450_eb9030f289_m.jpg\" width=\"167\" height=\"167\" \/><\/a> The body is very good no sink marks to fill. It comes with templates for covering up the body for the red and yellow.\u00c2\u00a0 They also cover the windows and headlights. Before painting I use masking tape to cover the inside of the glass. You spray the body yellow first. Then put the paint covers on by the letters that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on them with the instructions. Then you can go ahead and spray the red. The black and the white are all decals. The hardest part was getting the black decal to lay down around the windshield. There are enough decals to do this car with three different numbers. The interior is all race car; not a lot of comfort, one seat with nice seat belt decals, Detail is very good on the dash. Tamiya gives you all the numbers for painting and decal placement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All and all is it a very nice kit to build.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Right On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92012 All rights reserved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a SnapShot review by Bruce Stewart of the Porsche Shell Dunlop 962C 1:24 Scale Tamiya #233 for Right On Replicas, LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[1652,1653,1124,1646,1651,1648,1649,1647,39,210,1563,1650],"class_list":["post-2997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kit-reviews","tag-233-review","tag-1653","tag-doug-cole","tag-porsche-962-124-scale-tamiya-kit-review","tag-porsche-962-kit-233","tag-porsche-962-kit-review","tag-porsche-962-review","tag-porsche-962c-model-review","tag-right-on-replicas","tag-ror","tag-scale-model-review","tag-tamiya-233-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2997"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3000,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2997\/revisions\/3000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
