Hello everyone,
I found this kit in a store discount... thinking it was the old Tamiya rip-off, I couldn't resist the price and bought it. I was very surprised when I saw the contents, however, as the kit is Academy's own with a lot more detail compared to Tamiya's old offerings.
The kit comes with an engine as well. I didn't want to lose time to find references and then detail the engine, so I covered it with the hood and forgot about it.
You can build two versions using this kit. You can build an open vehicle or you can build it with a closed, hard-top cab. I went for the hard-top version. It looks uglier, but there was a nice tiger decal option for that one
Now, if anyone needs to build the same kit... going hard-top presents you with this problem. I really, really do hate those marks.
The trailer itself was also nice, goes together rather easily.
