Looks nice. The tubular cross member at the front is actually thicker, has a slight bend and has the ends pinched down to fit into the frame.

l can't believe it has taken so long for this vehicle to be available in this scale.

ls this plastic with resin/etch or all resin and etch?

Hope it's plastic.

A little disappointed that no attempt has been made to reproduce the structure within the tub. At this scale it is essential in my mind.

After a second look at the parts it looks like the tube does have the bend, but does not look right. It's hard to tell the level of detail do to the color of the resin. The frame channels could be more open.

I checked out their web site. They make some interesting stuff.

Nice. I don't want to know the price right now I'll wait till I''m setting in my doctors office. The old ticker might not take the shock.

What a needed addition to the big scale crew! On the other hand MAN this will be pricey in resin! Oh well...
