Hello,
I have built two of them. I kitbashed them into Bangor &
Aroostook "buggies" (waycars). They were a little tough to assemble,
but after the first one it was much easier. They build up into a very
nice car. I altered the construction sequence, but it has been so
long that I cannot remember what I altered ;>). I hope this helps a
little. Regards, Malcolm
