Anybody out there have one? I see them on flea-bay but was not really wanting to get into a bidding war.

The two types out there are the Masterpiece Models and the Dragon, both have their positives and negatives.

Please PM me if you have one, and thanks for looking!

The Dragon kit was far superior to the MP Models version. The MP kit I got was a mess, it looked like the mold had partially opened while plastic was being injected. The road wheels had so much plastic ooze out that the seam line was a thick layer of plastic flash about 1/4 the thickness of the road wheel. I had to chuck them up on my dremal to sand down the flash and correct the wheel. The gun was malformed two piece barrel. I was able to build it around a brass tube to fix it. The detail is soft or missing or overdone. Problems with warped hull, tub, engine covers. I got about 75% completed be for frustration got the best of me and I binned it
THE Dragon was better kit, the parts fit well, detail was better but it could do with some aftermarket goodies and tracks.
