I bought Tamiya's -353 Friday and am about 50% done - far better than I'd expected to be. I am having a real thrill building this. For some reason, building this truck is addictive. No wonder you guys build these things all the time! It comes together with ease and is extensively detailed. The basis for building this is a place ot put all of my left over accessories from past kits, mainly weapons and gear; and since I'm building this, I might as well get another campaign ribbon! Since I'm going to college in less than 2 weeks - and am putting building models on hold - I wanted something to dump all my stuff into. I have to hurry to get this done, but at this rate, I have no doubt about finishing.

good on you mate. Yes it is a real nice kit to build
