Hi Michael,
I had serious reservations when I first opened the box the amount of sprue's inside I was taken back at first thought I must have got a second one in the box It left feeling that this kit was very over-engineered and a sudden dread came over me, however, I bit the bullet as I felt the plastic was so soft so decided to build the chassis from that point I realised it was not over-engineered but it was for me just dam near perfect, you just need to take your time.

Hi Michael,
I had serious reservations when I first opened the box the amount of sprue's inside I was taken back at first thought I must have got a second one in the box It left feeling that this kit was very over-engineered and a sudden dread came over me, however, I bit the bullet as I felt the plastic was so soft so decided to build the chassis from that point I realised it was not over-engineered but it was for me just dam near perfect, you just need to take your time.
When I received this kit, the first thing that came to me was how sweet the engineering and detail, is. I was excited enough about the detail, that I completely glossed over the parts count. When it comes to new releases, I'm usually sold on intricate and sharp detail. With that being said, I also view new kits with a dis-concerning eye, hoping the kit is detailed enough in the hope of avoiding having to buy aftermarket detail correcting parts. Your review provided me with the information I was looking for in convincing me that this kit will be just fine OOB. So much so, I bought the Bedford General Service Truck (kit 35GM0025), site unseen. Thanx for the review!!
