THE SET:
Platz is a prolific model company based in Shizuoka City, Japan. They manufacture all manner of model subjects in the popular scales.
This detail set comes in a clear blister pack backed with cardboard. The cardboard back has the parts trees illustrations on it.
The blister contains: 4 decal sheets printed in black. I believe these represent the unfinished carbon fiber material for the bodies and the instruction show to put them inside the body , although it is molded in black.

A large and a small PE fret, a sheet of metal foil.
A sheet of mask.
A length of cloth ribbon (to make seat belts out of).
A tree of chrome-plated parts with many of the parts being duplicates.
A large color decal sheet with sponsors names on it.
A color decal sheet of lettering and a small color decal of alternate body colors.
Only a few of these parts make sense to me. The rest are a mystery and the instructions are not clear about them.
While I am not a car modeler the set is recommended.
I sincerely want to thank Platz for this review sample.
