Huge difference. Japanese kits practically fall together. Very well engineered. Think Tamiya. Chinese kits are for the most part junk.....they just turn out anything to make a buck.

I stand corrected, I don't think I've done one from tamiya but if I get the chance I won't hold this experience against it. Thanks for settin me straight.   :D

OOO,John, I'm not really sure you CAN unwarp the type of plastic those ORIGINAL promos were molded in. It's DEFENATELY NOT styrene. I tried to fix an old Hubbley 60 Ford station wagon once an no matter what I did, Hot water .heat, heat with pressure(rubber bands) nothin worked. Maybe one of the guys have been able to, but I sure as heck wasn't! Hopefully someone can help us BOTH out! Fella's????? :D   ;)

I just read your signiture statement. That hits the nail on the head. I'm in Lincoln Park so I see all the junk on tv too.
