A
resin Speed Racer Mach 5 kit, from Streamline Productions.
It is a pretty good kit. A heavy resin example, the the
resin being somewhat soft, or sandy like. I painted it Testors
Bright White.
The
kit did not require any donor parts. It came with the saws
in the front, though they are static. I chose to build the
kit with them installed. Both the saws and wheels are metal
(pot metal?). The front headlamps covers and windshield
are vacuum formed.
It
is actually a little larger than the newer Polar Lights
Mach 5s. So that example is probably more 1/32 scale. It
is a curbside as well, there is no "hood" to speak
of. The decals were included and went on nicely.
