Excellent figure!!  How is the Tristar kit with regards to fit and finish?

Thank you sir I found the Tristar offering to be showing its age as it features things like thick attachment points and not the greatest fit. The five piece hull tub is somewhat problematic as there's no real locating tabs/pins and one must be careful to assemble this even and square. Care is needed when fitting the fenders and upper hull. Despite this, with a little extra effort and attention, it makes up a nice little model. It includes a full interior, including the engine compartment. The indy track links are tiny and very delicate when assembled but anything that small would be. I enjoyed the build for the most part. Mark

Well, you certainly overcame any obstacles/challenges presented by the kit.  Nicely done.
