One of my earliest adventures in building resin kits. This thing was a heavy block of solid resin with metal wheels and detail parts, and a small amount of photo etch. I had no idea what went into building a hand-made kit. Nothing really fit like a Tamiya “fall together”! There was endless sanding, filing and shaving to get parts to fit. Even painting was a whole new ball of wax - Every part needed to be washed and then primed; before any real paint to be applied. With a little patience and some extra effort I got through the build. The only area I found difficult to get right was wheel alignment - Therefore the crooked wheel!
