Only $200 for a 1/4 scale kit, of this quality, and from fresh molds - wow!

Things just kinda rolled out that way

Still looks like there is a seam issue but not as severe as the seam on the kit I received from the first release that I paid $25 more for.

I'm not a photographer, so it probably looks more than it is

I don't think that seam pictured is bad at all.

As mentioned, the seams on this one are not as severe as the first issue that I received. For the most part, on this one there is just a little bit of a ledge. If you saw the seam line on the kit I received from the first issue then you would understand where I am coming from. I think anyone who bought the first issue would have been much happier to have received this newer one.

I've seen the new castings on the body and they are really great! The old caster had made some mistakes that I had to correct. New seam lines are subtle and castings much cleaner. Hope you enjoy the kit!

Yeow. Between a stomach virus and the impending election, it was a lousy day. Then this package arrived.....
