Default RE: Another T-55 build/review

RE poor molding

If memory serves me right it seems as if tree D was done after they realized how bad some of parts were on tree A and C. Just redid them on tree D. I had the same experiences as you are having. Mold seems so large it looks as if the plates were mismatched. By the time you file away the mold seem half the detail on the part is gone.

The tracks are nice, Hopefully they hold up well.

I only put power to the main light. but I see you got all three lit up.

Very representative build, and I think people should be prepared and expecting to find the same issues you are presenting. They match my experience with the kit as well. Just about every thing you have brought up I had the same issues.

Cheers,
