A few words about this kit. It seems that there was a great concern in making a very realistic and complete kit and in fact the kit is very complete. But ... there is always a but, they forgot that someone will want to assemble the kit. Its a very complicated kit to assemble, at least until now. It has several engineering problems, namely of parts designed without any tolerances ...

 
The one I'm working on was fiddly to build, but the body fits like crap. The only way to show it is with the body panels sitting beside the model. The body does hide all the detail, but it would be nice if it fit.
 
This kit promised a lot but... it went back to the box. I build models for fun, if it's being a pain in the ass it goes in the box ;-)
