from Hobbylink Japan.

Took about three weeks, but part of that was a special holiday in Japan - it only took five days in transit - not bad for an ocean away. Cost was about $28 - $19 for the model and $9 for shipping.

I had to open it and get started. Very fine parts, especially the suspension. Incredible detaiu; molded in. There are a few ejector ho;es in bad places. The sprue cut off points are a little thick sometimes, but the plastic is nice and sanded up really well.

I will keep you posted on progress. I'm doing it out of the box, as that's all my skills allow for the moment. I will be trying some dry brushing and minor weathering. Any advice would be appreciated.

Does the "in progress" forum work? Are the people hyper anal or what - I'm new around here.

Illini,

I have never seen anyone get flamed in the “Rivet Review Board” forum. Everything is always cordial and constructive. Post some pics as you build. You won’t be sorry, trust me. Someone may have a suggestion you never thought of. All of my experiences have been excellent.

This is not true... #:-) I flame pink tank and blue tank with huge wheels all da times.... Them weird looking thingies!!!! #:-) #:-) #:-)

Yeah, IIIini, no worry, people might poke fun but all good hearted and try to stay on the funny side... And welcome to the site, a bit late I know.....but ya know I am distracted and disturbed by all the weird stuff I see lately....
