    I got home last night, and a package from Searail was waiting for me. I am impressed. The tanker looks great. I just have to see what it look like, so I started to bend the brass. It looks like it will be a simple kit to build.

    Nice!

    John,

    Is that the entire kit in the photo or is there more parts? How smooth is the round surface of the tank car? Is there more brass pieces besides the top section? Speak John, Speak! :teeth:

    Very Nice, post photos after you paint it!

    Is it made of a stronger material than the dozers? Looks great but maybe wery delicate and easy to break? I'm still waitng for Mine RTR.

    Tim, there is two end piece of brass that I need to bend. The surface is not as smooth like a MK4D, but not bad. I say its very similar to MMM. There is also some underside detail, which is nice.

    By the way, I also received a painted Bel Air, and it looks awesome. Maybe I should have Searails paint all my models.

    Fred, Its probably the same material. Those thin end pieces are kind of fragile, but I dont want it over scale either.
