the tamiya kit is a hundred fold better than the fujimi kit i had,more challenging and the parts fit better.
but what are the ratios for?

If it's #24065 then it's one of the motorized range 1/24s that Tamiya make.
So you can fit a motor to it. Never worked out why anyone would botherSadly it means some detail is lost on the underneath but for kerbside models it's OK.

24065 is not motorized, it has an opening rear end and a detailed (plastic) engine. It could however be kit 24071, which is actually a Porsche 961, as driven by Metzge and Ballot-Lena duirng the 1986 LeMans. That has an electric engine.If it's #24065 then it's one of the motorized range 1/24s that Tamiya make.

it has to do with the paint, and i don't know if its about mixing colors or are they seperate colors and it is not motorized, but it has a detailed engine.

if it says (as an example) 3X5+5X7 then those are the amounts of paint you have to mix to get the desired colour. What colour do you plan to paint the body?

In terms of saving build time, it is advised to start with the body first, as doing a good paint job will take some weeks, and in between you can work on the rest of the car
