Well yes, primarily this particular kit on this occasion.

I'm gathering that you're not so enamoured with it yourself from what you've said in a previous post. I think what we have to remember is that it had to be made down to a price to be affordable. If it had been made like a Dynatron LF59 with an industrial grade steel plate chassis, seam welded on all the corners that you could park an British army tank on, then it just wouldn't have sold to the target market. It is what it is and I think it's very good for what it is and for the price it was at the time.
