Can you explain why you did not like this model? It was one I was thinking of getting when I get back to modeling.

This would be fun to convert to RC.:D

it's too bad, what a way to bomb a model. You would think they would research the thing before they...mold it?:doh:

Yuck. Maybe I won't add this to my list. Thanks for the links.

Too bad though. :nope:
