Hi Gang!
Iīm seriously thinking of getting the Legendīs MaxxPro, but as itīs quite pricy I want to be sure about quality of the kit before making the purchase.

The construction blogs Iīve read confirm itīs a high detailed kit with well casted parts that fit well together. I havenīt worked with a full resin kit from Legend yet, but the accessories and conversion sets Iīve had were of a very different quality.

What do you think? Did some of you experience bad casts or problems with this kit?

Thanks a lot for any feed back

You can see my build log on here. The kit went together like a dream. The one drawback is there are some holes in some visible places in the interior, but if you plan ahead and fill them before you even start condtruction, they won't slow you down a bit.

The kit is of very good quality, both resin and photo etched parts.
If you are familiar with handling and gluing resin parts you will not experience serious difficulties in building the model.

The quality is top notch. The only issue I had was it takes a lot longer to find the pieces you need since everything is unmarked and in a couple bags. If you can set up a work space and organize the parts and leave it up, it would be a major help. I had to constantly put everything away due to children and a cat. Everytime I got it back out to work on, I spent a ton of time finding parts again.

That's reassuring to read here about the Legend quality.

Jason,
the cat in your profile picture doesn't seem like the climb-on-the-table type!
