must be honest I'd quite like one of these or something similar but they are asking silly money. Never seen one sell but I guess if someone (not me) is willing to pay then let the market decide.

Over Christmas, in a bored moment, I had a go at the Ugears kit and a metal 4/4, 4 seater kit I'd had lying round for ages. I managed to complete the Ugears, then broke the back axle, glued it and now it doesn't spin, and the Metal kit looks OK from about 15ft away. I now realise why I stopped building kits 38 years ago

When I look at dioramas and models on Pinterest etc etc, I'm blown away.

I bought one. VERY disappointing, dubious accuracy and the chassis/front suspension is 100% wrong: no sliding pillars and the chassis goes up, over the rear axle, with springs under. I'll never make it, and will probably bin it.

I'll never make it, and will probably bin it. Yep, same opinion here. Very poor indeed. I paid way over the odds for mine as I believed the kits to be very good. Big mistake. I wouldn't pay £5 for one, let alone the asking price on Ebay.

Yes very poor Maybe because of the kit being made to be motorised This is the most accurate Trad Morgan plastic model kit Every detail is exactly like mine ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/02/04/9F15F2B4-3A36-43CD-8FB9-A3F73BD368F8.jpg)
