    I do not have a photo but what you have is a VERY simple kit. The body is prepainted and basically the model is a snap/screw together one. It has opening doors and engine compartment with minimal engine detail. An experienced builder could do this out of the box in 30 minutes or less. More detai would take longer.
    It is exactly the same as ther 1/18 diecasts just not assembled.
    Hope this helps.

    The decals or stickers as you call them are not at all accurate. Why not just put on the cresting and forget the rest?
    A few suggestions. First when you open it use car wax/polish and really polish it up. Avoid the edges as the paint will wear through if you rub too hard. Buy some flat paint even the waterbase stuff you can get at Michael's very cheaply. Use it to repaint the interior. Easy to do and will make a huge difference. Finally the "stickers" are water slide decals. Cut them away from the sheet and soak them in tepid water. Once they loosen away from the paper dampen the car where you want to put them. Pat them down with a tissue and the next day they will be fully attached to the body.
    These are simple things. As you improve there are tons of things you will be able to do to really detail it up.
