I have managed to source some figures but they will be late arrivals. They are of Russian manufacture, expensive!! The hobby shop that deals with them was in Australia but was sold out, found another link but that looked a bit dodgy but when googling images there was a link to Etsy, I skipped that and just searched resin figures on Etsy and WOW lots of stuff. Two figures on the way and I'm pretty sure its the Australian shop!!

Jed busted through the gates fast! I will be starting mine momentarily along with scratching a few figures for a mini dio. The kit comes with the driver only. Jed ordered some aftermarket figures so will be fun to see where he goes with it! Not sure what others may build here when they check in. Here is what is in the box!

Jed, did your notice a bunch of the holes on the body aren't punched through all the way? Also lots of mold lines that need scraping. This kit is showing its age. Driving me nuts, ha, ha!

Nice work,Guys. Although I gotta say,I'm not really a fan of all that pink plastic. 😄 It definitely is a color I'm not a fan of but when we spray with paint and weather them it will be a bit more toned down... I hope!!! Lol! I did notice this plastic doesn't take glue as well. I had to open a new Tamiya Thin Set to get it to grab. Maybe the old pot of glue had just gone off... I threw it out. Although super glue takes longer to dry on this plastic too. How about you Jed? Any issues there with gluing it? |

Yes Joe it certainly showing its age but I’m also surprised at the detail on the tyres. I think this kit is/was also the base for another version hence the need to drill the holes you require. The colour (for me) of the plastic doesn’t help finding some of the mould lines etc, they just do t seem to stand out too well!! |
