Plastic. And plenty of it, too.

Joisey, eh? Reminds me of the old Joe Piscopo "Paulie Herman" skit on SNL....

Yes, great kit, buils up very nice with no surprises. Good PE, good detail and lots of tires! You won't be disappointed

i hope so .in the past i was spoiled with tamiya quality and bought the "other guys" for the challenge or parts. i see even tamiya slipped a tad they added one tree,colored directions and released a super pershing .along with a SP italeria reboxed kit. afv got a little over complicated on their duster and dragon is well .........still a drag ,even their renamed,reboxed kits. imho........it looks like i will have to dig out the airbrush stuff and cover up in the garage for overspray

well i am a week into this kit and here is my opine so far. i started with the trailer first and i am on my first suspension arm.you should say good bye to loved ones,they will not see you for one or two seasons. have your eyes checked/new glasses and again after the build. pay you bills a few months in advance.get a comfy chair for your work station. only 2 beefs so far........much care and build time on things that require no glue and moveable only to be covered up and not function [steering linkage] and some detail work that can only be seen if the finished model falls off a 6ft shelf.

That suspension is a freaking nightmare, wheel after wheel after wheel, but it's all down hill from there! All in all how do you like the kit?
