Default Whats the difference?

whats the difference between a normal 1/24 model car kit and a 1/24 snap together model car kit? Do snap together kits have removable bumpers?

regular kits require glue, snap kits snap together

the difference is that the normal model kits are harder than the snap ones.
the normal ones require paint and glue while the snap ones at most require paint.

the normal 1/24 you usually have to use glue and what not to hold it together...most snap kits the parts snap into place and then the bottom of the car is screwed into the the top part of the shell holding it together...you may or may not need glue for some parts on the snap tight kits....you can modify the bumpers on any model car to your liking...but as far as the interchangeable bumpers, if the kit comes with them then you can swap them out....

The snap kits have less pieces as well. Usually the snap ones are molded in a colored plastic already out of the box instead of being white or gray (unless the molded car it was modeled after was white or gray)
