Finally done... This kit came out in 2015 and has 124 parts. When I order it, I though it was going to be a fun built. But this kit had different issues that it was not so easy like I thought... When I start to cut the plastic it remind me of the same plastic was used on the Renault 16, that was a middle 60's kit! There are few errors easy to correct, like the front "spoiler" that on the kit is straight down, when in the real car it sit in an angle. When you adjust it on the body, you need also to trim the chassis, if not is not going to fit. I painted the inner fenders before glue them to the body, because if you glue them first and after paint it could be difficult to reach all the area. On the instructions it says to put the engine on the chassis and after attach the body. I suggest to attach the body to the chassis first, and after put in the engine, it is easyer. Also I had to replace the windshield wipers, the one on the kit were too short. The bad thing, considering the kit is new, is that doesn't have lenses for the headlight. Instead in the box there are different parts from the Citroen 2CV kit. Anyway it was fun to build it, I really enjoyed it and I decided to leave mine without door and windows, it make more a summer car. :DI also put old style license plate, I think they fit the car better than the newer the kit has.

That looks GREAT Brizio. It kinda reminds me of the type of vehicle that's on an Island and they take you around for site seeing. Kinda like Fantasy Island... I really like that custom orange you mixed up. Makes it look racy..

Thank you Guys! @gary, they used a lot those cars in warm sea places, like St. Tropez. Also because the body is plastic, it will never rust.
