LOL, more informational than complaint really. It's interesting to see the difference in quality between makers. This is the roughest kit I've done to date. State of the art? Nope. Very buildable? Yup. I think She'll dress up quite nicely, Me thinks. Thanks for the comment my friend.

Jeff great job on the underside, and the ICM kits are notorious for not having very good location points, excellent job non the less.
Cheers, Thom

Thom thanks, I'm getting it figured out Man. Here's what I got done today I had to narrow the body front end so it would fit over the chassis Before ..... And after... Needs to be cleaned up a little but better I think. Dry fitted the front bumper to check the fit. Got some priming done to the chassis Got some surgery going on with the body, hope to have some pics of that tomorrow

Andy, not so much fast as motion effective.
Dupes, glad you like it, now wipe your chin will ya, you're getting the keyboard all wet.
Luigi, Throw it away ? Not a chance.
Thom, Right you are Man. You can be sure it will get some.
Gary, I'm planning on "borrowing" the colors you used on your SU. We'll see what happens.
Boots, I know you have broad shoulders Dude, I could tell from those handlebars.

Thanks for the comments Boys. I had to wait almost an hour so my eyes could uncross before I posted last night . I've been doing some research about these. They look completely different with the windows and upper doors open. I may try to open them up too. I'm still trying to work up the stones to do it.
