This is an interesting kit, and turned out into a nice clean model upon completion for me. There are a few shortcomings that frustrated me, however.
1. As others have mentioned before me: there are some sink holes and general clean up needed.
2. My kit gave me a terrible time fitting together the drive train assembly and certain components of the subframe. Pieces were not of the correct dimensions to fit, and much was needed on my end to recraft pieces to achieve a better fit.
3. People knock the wheels for poor appearance, but I found mine to be just fine. They are two piece wheels of course, but once you clean them up it's just a matter of applying the right paints to simulate heavy rubber tyres. I didn't try to achieve the wheel sag that would be seen on a real vehicle, but it's possible I imagine.

Overall a nice kit, sharp detail, and fun to assemble.
