I bought this and started it awhile ago and put it aside because it was a snap together kit - bought it on accident and was not happy when I realized. Anyway, it's not bad. I kind of like it for when I'm in the mood to build but don't want to mess with painting. They're pretty quick because of all that. I do want to build a proper MO eventually. First, a TX and a larger AZ.

Apparently I'm in a critical mood tonight. I don't like this kit, don't like the snap together pre-colored parts mostly because it feels like cheating. I thought I'd work on this a bit tonight just to get the thing done. Now I have something else I don't care for- snap together parts are awful when they're the size of a bb or pellet. It would be so much easier to glue these tiny parts than try to force two minuscule pieces to fit together. So if you're older and thinking snap together may be the way to go, I'd think again. At least look for a kit that doesn't have small parts. In this pic the pencil is pointing to the radar , that was a separate piece. You can see how tiny it is compared to the pencil. This is going back in the closet for a day when I'm really bored.

Phew, for a minute there I thought you was going to call it a stupid ass piece of crap
Haha. This is the first time I've tossed a model. Threw it in the garbage this eve. I've completely jacked up models but always finished them, one I converted to a crashed plane diorama in order to make it work, this garbage can and didn't think twice.
