Thank you all for the kind words.
FYI for anyone looking to build this kit- parts fit is decent but there are some tricky fits. One problem area was the fan and radiator fitment. The pictures dont show it but I had to push the fan right up against the radiator to get the radiator to fit at a 90 degree angle to the chassis. There is no gap between the fan and radiator lol!
While test fitting the body to the interior tub/chassis I found that the door panels had to be sqeezed towards each other a bit to get the fit right.
But other than these issues so far so good!
