By the way the Hellhound chopper was used in the opening of the first Patlabor movie helping the Helldiver Paratrooper labor's hunt down a runaway prototype combat labor

I took my copy of the Hellhound on weekend trip to a family get-together, working on the major parts in the car on the way there and back, and I have to say that the fit and engineering of the Hellhound is even better than the Jigabachi. With all the mods I made to my Jigabachi, I didn't have to use much filler, but my copy of the kit did have some annoying moulding offset issues; my copy of the Hellhound looks like a real box-shaker, and I doubt it will need more than a couple of spots of Mr. Surfacer. One thing for certain, the Hellhound needs a lot of weight in the tail to sit on it's landing gear as designed; the layout is so ridiculous, it's guaranteed to be a nose-sitter otherwise.
