Shellback. The kit is very nice. Lots of parts. Some areas are simplified like the roadwheel assembly but I can live with that. Before I started on it I was thinking of getting the Eduard PE set but I'm glad I did'nt. The kit will built up well OOB.Besides HB included PEs that will make it look better.  Fit is good although I have to paint a lot of subassemblies because it will be tough to paint them after it has been put together.

The kits are nice, like any kit can use a little added detail, but the kit builds up decently.

Thanks Bronto. That's all I need to know.

If you get a copy of Ampersand's "High Speed Tractor" book it will answer your questions on the M-4.  The seats were canvas, so they would be a light OD color.   The engine would also be the same OD as the exterior of the M-4.

I'm building and painting the Hobby Boss' M4 High Speed Tractor and I am again undecided whether to paint the seats in leather as I have seen some builts during my research or should it be in khaki? Another predicament is the engine, instructions says black metal but I've seen them in green? What say you?
