Wow that's a lot of pin marks. Advantage Dragon slide-molds.

You bet! And they're deep it can be seen from the moon. I can not do any effort on the interior without patching them up. I'll post some pictures as I go along.

I've never seen the limited edition with resin parts before. I have the regular kit, and yes it has big knock out marks, but to be fair, there is no interior so pin marks inside are better than on exterior surfaces. I think my kit has some detail on the inner doors, but with a big empty interior, I think leaving them open without adding an interior would not be wise.

Like Rob, I have the standard kit and have never seen the 'Limited Edition' one. That's pretty sweet with all those extra details.

The knock out marks in the interior are a bummer. Also the lack of detail in there. It'll be interesting to see what you do to dress it up.

Hi Rob! You know this is my second M-706/V-150 and both has interior details. It has an engine, seats, a steering wheel (quite small I think though). Are you saying you kit does not have any of these? The limited edition was to celebrate IPMS Philippines' anniversary. I think they (IPMS, Phil.) requested this from HB.

Constructor,

What is the kit number? I want to see if I can track one down!

Constructor, I was having a serior moment and confused my Trumpeter M1117 Guardian with my Hobby Boss V-150. My V-150 does come with interior parts, although not for the turret. The M1117 does not, except for some details inside the door.

That's the one I have. I was looking at the steering wheel and it looks a little to small. Don't you think so? From the pictures I posted, There is the bonus resin turret I got but no instructions. I could figure out the basic assembly but I would need a reference for the other parts. Would you have some pictures?
