Fiat Punto Kit Car

..

This kit is also a multi-media kit, broken down in a similar manner to the Lancia. Resin, white metal and photoetch are all present. This one has had more attention spent towards the smaller details, so it might be a bit more difficult a kit than the Lancia. Five releases are scheduled:

BIG.K.058: Fiat Punto Kit Car, Grifone, Molise 2000
BIG.K.017: Fiat Punto Kit Car, Valsir, Sanremo 2000
BIG.K.018: Fiat Punto Kit Car, Perlino, Elba 2000
BIG.K.022: Fiat Punto Kit Car, Ufficiale, Presentazione - Ciocco 2000
BIG.K.023: Fiat Punto Kit Car, Daniel Jean Richard, Montecarlo 2001

The illustrated vehicles are the Valsir, Grifone and Ufficiale examples.
