I sure hope to see the open door as that Tamiya never bothered with the open door things we love diecast cars for.  The japanese text under it just states that's an image and the product will become a assembly kit what not.  (Boy my J grammar is getting worse out of college.)

You can reserve the kit at: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/

It also says:

Gulwing doors can be opened.
Engine hatch can be opened.
V8 5.5L super charged engine is well re-produced.
Die-cast chassis.

save your money!! i just opend  my kit. the engine block is molded into the engine bay. the doors dont stay open on ther own, thay need a thin metal rod to hold them up. I also dont like the front grill its solid plastic,not screen. I guess i gust expected more for the price. For $60.00 thats not cool.  its like looking at a Fujimi kit. Tamiya dropped the ball on this one. richard

Well that just sucks! Now they are going to say that they include the engine, but just mold it to the engine bay. Man, I would rather they just left the engine out, at least you would know what to expect.
