This was my third WRC collection. Other than the imperfection of my painting, Hasegawa made two visible mistakes on this GSR Evolution V. First of all, the rims were not to scale. The rims were too small and tend to make me think that the actual car was using 15" rims. Secondly, the photo of the actual car printed on the box showed me the rims are supplied by Enkei, however what I found the rims in the kit were the same set of OZ rims for the street version of its ancestor, Evolution III. What you see on the picture above are actually OZ rims, but Hasegawa placed a small "Enkei" decal on each rim to make them all Enkei rims. Tamiya has exact the same model. The reason of getting Hasegawa was simply the four-point seat belts were included in the kit.
