David Snook –
Fantastic kit. Great to take a break from resin kits – but still have the great detail!
Don White –
Fun kit. I used the optional dropped grab irons instead of the molded ladders. It looks great. I like to install the grab irons at the beginning, rather than the end, of the build. I put a drop of CA on the back, then trim and smooth the back.

Ok… how do I put this… the car has an Insane amount of detail included in the kit… as photographed several “options” in the instruction sheet are not shown… it’s a nice looking model when complete… but to be honest there are lots of pieces that are nearly microscopic needing assembly. The vacuum compressor finished product is about a 1/4 long but contains 5 parts… my pointed end tweezer has more surface area than many of the parts requiring glue have. No I am not a show quality model builder and I will learn how to overcome some of this stuff… but it definitely is not designed to be built by even a medium skilled modeler. Get a magnifying glass you will need it.
