I already work on this about few weeks and can say that actually kit is a real crap 🙁

I too paid a small fortune for this kit, and was unimpressed. It's actually a snap kit, re-branded with new decals. Their latest offering is the KISS tour truck, which is the same kit. I'll wait for someone to replicate the decals in 1:25 and make my own. I definitely won't be wasting my money this time.

Yes, it is a snap kit with huge pins and holes (at least truck part). There are only two pros for this kit: it's a quite small truck with trailer and, of course, nice decals 🙂 Everything else is terrible 🙁 But I'll try to do my best to make this plastic crap look like model.

I gotta give you credit for your loyalty to this kit. Keep up the good work buddy.

What Bozzer said, I agree 😛 I didn't even bother to paint that so called engine...kudos to you for trying to make best out of this kit 👍

Thanks, mates! 🙂
Working on this kit is exhausting but at the same time I test on it few new ideas and techniques so this appears to be a nice "training ground". Especially because it is hard to make this kit even worse as it is 😄

AC/DC gave me tinnitus in '89 when they fired off cannons right above my head...rock on dudes

Kudos to you, for your patience with this kit. I need to clean the dust off mine and try to apply the decals still.

Thanks, Bozzer! Actually my patience slowly drains out, kit is really garbage. The only good thing is that chassis is almost complete and looks good enough, considering how bad was original parts. I'll post pics later.

Thanks, mates! 🙂
OK, here are pics of chassis. Some small final touches are required but overall, everything is complete. I ran into problems with chrome paint on mudguards so I repaint and add them later. And transmission joint isn't installed yet because it is easer to keep chassis in hand without it.
