Hmm..intersting build but the thread could prove to be even more interesting.
OK. Before posting here, I decided to do some surfing on the forum (profiles, posts etc)
First of all, congratulations for taking on a pretty major conversion of a kit. Not an easy task any day and you did it - I never have. I guess you put in a fair bit of time and effort and I hope you had fun doing it.
Secondly, let me tell you honestly, That if, as modeler with 500 posts, you post a model in the completed forum with wonky wheels, orange peel in the paint, a hole in the back plate and crooked exhaust pipes you leave members with 3 choices.
a) Walk on by
b) Lie and say "OMG that's so awsome"
c) Post criticism - hopefully and preferably constructive in nature
IMO your build requires the third approach. But for you not for me.
I don't agree with how Bigfrit said it, but I do agree with what I believe his intentions were.
