Maisto's detail for the money continues with its 1:36 rendition of the S2000.  Despite being a pullback toy, the attention to detail is much better than the larger 1:32 Kinsmart S2000. The Maisto S2000 is a LHD (though I wonder if there is a Japanese version like in the 1:18 series). The interiors have good detail and silver OEM 5 spoke wheels which are accurate and to scale.

The following USDM cars came in silver, red, black and yellow - all with black interiors.

 

European LHD versions - the difference being that the fenders have "Honda" on top of the "S2000" logo. The license plate decal is also different. Some of the European market Maisto's were sold under the Edocar brand - with a white "Edocar" sticker covering the Maisto logo on the bottom of the car.
