Aoshima 'The Snap Kit' series
1/32nd scale

The Snap Kit series was introduced in 2021, it features easy to assemble models of popular cars.
The parts are made out of ABS plastic instead of the usual polystyrene and no glue is required for assembly: all parts snap together.
All parts are either molded in appropriate colors or plated, so no painting is required.
Interior is fully detailed with the seats, dashboard and door panels molded with the floor on thin edges that can be folded.
The chassis is flat and smooth with just 'Aoshima' in raised lettering.
The chassis allows the axles to be fitted in a regular or a lowered height.
Windows and light lenses are provided as clear parts, for the lights there are colored self-adhesive foil stickers provided to fit behind the lenses.
Headlights can be fitted in retracted or raised position. The lights come with separate clear lenses and bright foil stickers for reflectors.

The sticker set of the Initial D FD3S suggests that Aoshima plans to release more versions of the FD3S in different body colors.

The instruction sheet refers to https://aoshima-car.com/ , where a license plate designer can be found that allows for creating custom license plates that can be printed at home.
