Started the kit for an exotic GB today, and the quality varies. The plastic is very soft and requires a lot of refinishing. Details are sharp, though. The bodywork is supposed to be improved.

Should be right up Kilnoizer's street 'cos it's obviously a Land Rover from the pics.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

AK even pays Land Rover the licencing fees to use the official logo, etc.

I've got one of these on the shelf.  Chaos building it means I won't touch it for years now until i've forgotten how good a job he did...

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I built this same kit. I wasted far, far too much time on the engine and chassis details that are never going to be seen. The door windows need some work, but it's otherwise a great kit. The kit molding and details look like ICM, who probably did the kit for AK.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Shocking, don't they know that paying
fees for the use of IP will be the death
of the hobby? Because it'll increase the cost of a kit by 15 to 20%.

I began with the Engine.
It is thiny.

I remember this part! It takes up 70% of the build. No need to paint the engine, since it's all but invisible (unless you open the hood)

Night Shift (Martin Kovac) built this kit as well:

Will you be adding spark plug wires Chaos?
