This model is in their "Kit Classics" series. It will feature a lot of molded-on detail and easy assembly.

This is the worst web page I have ever seen: dark maroon background with black font.

It has to do with how their page is configured, but there's a working version of it.  Remove the s from https and it calls the style sheet properly.

Havelock Shops Gondola

From the photos on the page below, the grabs are molded on.

This is the worst web page I have ever seen: dark maroon background with black font.  In a brightly lit room I can barely read it some of it.  There are pics of adding real grab irons but it doesn't mention anything about the underside.

The models sell for $18.  That's not going to get you Rapido style detailing.
