This is T-Models M-1114. A bit of a challenge. Mostly OOB, but I added the front shelf with radio and computer.

Looks very nicely done, especially the painting. Amusingly, I was wondering why the driver's side mirror was lower than the passenger side and checked out some photos and found that is the way those things are. How did you find the overall fit and assembly of the kit? For those of us in Eastern Canada challenged by a lack of a nearby hobby shop where did you pick this up and at what cost? Only anomaly I see is the front passenger side tire doesn't touch the table surface as the other three do. Perhaps a warped table top?

Not always but very often. I wonder what is the reason ?

Passenger side mirror is higher because the computer screen would otherwise obstruct the driver's view if
it were at the same level.

It's by T-Models (Termin Moulds). I got mine from Aurora Model Shop

Fit is very good, but there are a lot of parts so you have to be careful - it is a little challenging! Lots of PE for such a little vehicle. Especially the chassis. It's very detailed; so many parts. That's probably why one wheel is slightly up. It even has an engine (one piece) so you can build it with the hood open. Detail is as good as Flyhawk, except for the weapons - Flyhawk's are slightly better. The only minus was the lack of any communication equipment. I had to scratch the radio and computer, which is not all that visible.

Thanks Leo, I'll check that place out. Matthew Lenton did a review here a while ago and it looked interesting Review.
Thanks,
