    Those are Group 5 racecars. The rules allowed bodywork mods but it had to run stock doors, that explains the large box flares.

      Thank you for watching. They all look fantastic. The printing is amazing and wheels look spot on. I have done reviews for each of the three now.

    Hi Simon - great review! May I suggest "cleaning up" the video a bit i.e. using a tripod to give a stable image so that viewers can look at the details you are describing. "Sanitizing" the table (i.e. wrapping, coffee/tea cup, etc...) would focus viewers on what you are talking about. Proper editing of the video would help keep the attention of your newcomers to the subject at hand. Thank you, Ciao, L

      Progressed to a tripod. I don't use video software as I have no clue how to do that. What can I say I like coffee! Track is on a bigger table now in the garage making some modifications at the moment so maybe a week or so before the next one.
      Thanks for watching!

      @@simonsays171 Hi Simon, no "harm done"! I am a "newbie" to the hobby and I was/am attentively studying the process as you are assembling the various components (I even got a coffee cup)! Thank you again for taking the time to describe all the parts included in this box, Ciao, L

    a great set,.have you thought about adding a pit lane,it add just that little bit more fun for racing when it comes to refueling statageys.

      I have. I want to have some races first with my neighbors and see how I go with the basics first before I add that into the mix. But that is on the to buy list for sure.

      I know what you mean. If reviewing stuff becomes more than a one off habit I may invest in a tripod or a gimbal for the phone. But that's not something that is justifiable at the moment. I do hope you found it informative however.

      @@simonsays171 If you are going to do more videos/vlogs, you should use a gimbal, at minimum, a tripod. Watching Shakey handheld shots just induces nausea.
