Nice and some comments

September 6 2008, 7:19 PM 

Thats a good review there. I just helped a friend finish his kit today, and have a couple observations...

There are no chrome parts if you wanted to do a civilian car. Likewise, a lot of military vehicles had the dog-dish hubcaps removed, but I don't think you can build the kit that way even though the non-chromed hub caps are seperate.

There is absolutely no interior to the inside of the doors, roof, etc. If you paint the interior in the light colors suggested, it is VERY obvious there is not much inside except the two seats.

As noted, the two large guages on the dash board lack decals, or even any kind of molded detail.

The kit lacks any kind of small part like windshield wipers (vaguely molded to windscreen), mirrors, etc.

Its not "bad" as it looks nice (for a generic car I guess) when done, but for $30 USD its not a great value. My friend bought it only because he builds 1/48 and there are not that many new kits...
