The Renaissance kit is a full curbside kit, which includes resin, photoetch, printed windows, machined aluminum parts and decals.

The kit directions are complete and easy step by step instructions. One of the best things about this kit is the interior. Close attention was paid to this area, such as including the cool box, fan for the cool box, the dashboard, and even the cell phone, which I thought was a nice touch.

I did not have many fit issues with this kit. Everything kit fit with minimal to nothing-at-all modifications. The only area of concern was the shape of the body, which I think is somewhat incorrect from the pictures that I have found of the race car. The concern was mainly the roof line and the rear brake intakes. Some decals that were on the actual race car were not included in the kit.

Overall, this is a good quality kit and fun to build. This was one of the first cars that I tried using carbon fiber decals on everything. I would recommend this kit.
