It is some of the most incredible documentation of the kit, the assembly process, and the finished model. In some shots it passes for the real thing. The attention to detail in the interior is superb.

It would be a great challenge to track down the existance of this kit.

The model was actually limited production(about 270kits) from "Studio27". It's cast resin model with some metal parts. Not a lot of parts when you open the package, but the price was huge...160bucks! Sanding, painting, putthing those together was just crazy. It's not like regular Tamiya plastic model kit. I put so much effort making this model.. before I knew it, it was end of my vacation..It took my whole vacation away! I spent too much time on that model. I really wished someone(like Tamiya, aoshima, fujimi..) made detailed plastic model kit of SVX within the price range 15-25bucks..
I posted some threads about this model like couple months ago. I'm not sure if i wrote much more detail about this model. But basically, this model would be really hard to get. It was kind of requested program, and when the requested number reached 250 or something, Studio27 launched the SVX project. So, they only made 270 or so to provide to those who requested the SVX model kit. However, most of people who got this model couldn't handle making this model, so many of them sold the model..to JP yahoo auction or somthing. There still may be chance to get this model.
Anyway, I was making this SVX model while I was in Japan, and I was so affraid to bring the model back to the US(it might break). But, in the US here, I have a real 1/1 scale running model that I can get in and drive
