Really, LOL. Some people are very uneducated in the hobby! :doh:
Those people are not seeing this as a hobby. They don't do things out of passion, but out of greed. They just want to make some easy money and people without patience are falling for it unfortunately :shame:

It's funny, it looks a lot like the NIO EP9.

Anyway, a black NSX joins the shelf garage!:

However, I wish to note something else. The seller taped the openings shut (which I understand), and it appears that little flecks of something (paint?) came off with the tape:

What did he use to secure? Painters tape works best!

Depending on the brand the adhesive could be overally strong for scale models. Are you keeping it?

I am going to keep it. It looks very nice overall, but I might contact the seller to let him know. I see one tiny area on the spoiler that might be a chip, but otherwise, I don't see any problems. It's not so obvious where these black flecks are coming.
