Exceptional Kit. The design, laser cut sheets of parts and the assembly manual are all outstanding. I have found only one problem with assembly, which may be my fault, in that I could not get the spring powered drive to work after finishing the assembly on page 15. It would only work for perhaps a half second. I suspected the "track noise maker cam" but eventually discovered that the pistons of the engine had jammed in the holes of the head gaskets and pushed the head gaskets out of the engine frame. These pistons I have are much smaller than the cylinder holes and needed no sanding to fit. I could think of no fix so I removed the pistons and connecting rods and this helped some what, Finally I removed the crankshaft and its drive sprocket and this made a world of difference. The drive now works quite well. This model kit is otherwise of exceptional design, with really great detail. I give the design 5 stars, the parts sheets 5 stars and the assembly manual 5 stars. A great kit and I love it.

Ordering this was easy and it arrived quickly. I haven’t had a chance to start assembling it yet but I’m looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it’s finished.

I had a lot of fun building this. This was the first project that went together without a hitch and works great.
