First of all, the kits are designed on the “Car Toons” theme: that is, they are caricatures of hot rods, in roughly 1/35th scale.  Interestingly, they are also caricatures of some fairly popular 1/25th scale kits: a 1955 Chevy, 1941 and 1933 Willys coupes, a 1933 Willys pickup, and a Ford Anglia.  They have darkly tinted windows and no interior or engine detail; and they must be mounted on the plastic base they come with.  The kits are pre-painted and snap together, so parts count is minimal.  There is one tree of chrome parts (wheels, manifold, and scoop), the “tinted” glass, the pre-painted body, and several other parts trees molded in black.  Overall quality of the parts is good, with no flash or sink marks on any of the kits I have seen, crisp engraving on the bodies, and a good quality paint job.  The tampo printing on the Spider-Man graphics was excellent.

Assembly is (pardon the pun) a snap.  The step numbers on the instruction sheet match the part numbers on the trees, which makes everything easy to find.  All the pieces fit together just the way they should, with a satisfying “snap” to let you know they’re locked in place.  Some of the pieces fit a bit tight, and younger children may need some assistance getting them in place.  My 6-year-old daughter and I put this kit together in about 20 minutes, and she was able to do quite a bit of it herself.  The end result was a pretty cool-looking car, and she proudly explained to her mother how she did it “all by herself”.
