Sam model uważam za dobry. Nie było konieczności użycia szpachli, składało się przyjemnie. Tylko nie polecam budować go jako "push-to-fit" modelu. Nie warto, efekt nie jest dobry.
Muszę jednak jedno skrytykować - gąsienice. Są, grzecznie mówiąc, beznadziejne. Pomijając to, że ich składanie to koszmar, okazały się za krótkie, przez co musiałem wymyślić sposób na to, aby je zakryć :P
