Those are two different styled kits .... the one from andy's is the Monocraft 3000 knock off , the Vis kit used to be called Bandoh kit . No body likes the Bandoh kit...
Which is sad in an ironic way, because the original Monocraft kit was produced by Bandoh.

The rear fenders just ruin the look of this kit. I'm glad they smooth it out on the Monocraft.
Same! I wonder if they just did that to differentiate the two.

Here's a *couple of scans of the Monocraft handout, for posterity!

Something "productive," for the day - at home with a sick cat. 😿

I'll need to re-scan the inside as it cut in a bit, before I can merge.

When I first started getting into Spyders, before I finally bought one, I was so enamored of the JGTC cars, and the Monocraft kit. Now I realize, if I had that kit, and all that it requires (subjective), I would be way too precious with it, and it would probably be nigh undrivable for me. I could see doing it as a showpiece maybe, but not for use otherwise. Or, reproduced and modded for racing, but that's not and may never be in my wheelhouse, either.

My happy medium is the VM180 - working on getting that together after so long..
