I'll be following this with interest. I recently bought this kit so any comments on build issues are welcome.

Main issues so far are annoying bits of flash, but it's only bad by Tamiya standards.

Just finished the original '83 release of this one. Obviously, not a speck of flash to be found. Guess that shows you what 20 years does to a mold.
