Hi Spud, this is a nice kit, I built this one last year! I don't think there are any accuracy issues, except...woo! I looked away just in time!! ;D
Keep up the good work!
Cheers

Finally an update on this. i got the top plate on and it was a fecker to get on it was warped and i think the resulting warp has warped my tub, ill check that out tonorrow.  i went with the kit track holders on the rear as the Pe ones are just way to flimsy for my liking, not a big fan of the pe sheet in this kist as its as thin as paper  this Bin was was grand until it came to the hinges and i gave up trying to get the wire in and just glued the lid shut  |

Sorry to hear about the warp Spud, but looks to be fixed. the added detail parts and PE have really added a lot to the model. Some very nice clean work there my friend.

Spud, thanks for heads up!!! the Krome is still not available here locally I only see the patriot which almost cost $200 USD, but the Tamiya HG sells about $120 USD.

That's really a bargain!! well I got a fellow IPMS member US based he got the renegade about $200 without the shipping. if I ordered the krome + shipping and handling and customs tax it will cost more and that would be problem, Its either I have to wait it out to be available here or ask the direct local dealer order one but I have to wait for 2 to 3 months before it arrived, that's what happen when I ordered the Vallejo Air set from them.

That's really sounds bad, Spud. I will have the Tamiya in the mean time, and had to sort things out how to get the krome in the future.

Have patience, Buddy you still had a lot of pending builds that you can finish that doesn't require spraying at the moment.
