Greetings,

Wow - there are some real problems here. Dull paint, what seems a dip in the actual casting atop the front hood, trace photoetch work that appeared a bit cheap, as well as some assembly hiccups (lugs pointed all akimbo if you will) scream 'new production facility' or rather 'new outsource contract work' brought online. One showed up at a local venue and the first thing I thought was God we can't sell it like that. I felt the need to spirit our example away consistent with actually finishing it. Although of course I desire that everyone who wishes to have an example will in fact be availed one, please make an inspection of this model before you commit. Kind regards...

Mike K.
