here are better angles and the comparison pic. they do look a little narrow on the bottom end of the "U" but *shrug* its the closest thing available right now.

They could have easily done better than that. Sometimes I wonder if they do not sacrifice a lot of quality for speed and quantity. Given their prices one would expect better products.

just got this one in finally. i'll try and post some pics later.

there appears more noticeable flash on the kit then an IS-F kit I got the other day from Meko Models. the front bumper also looks like its going to need some slight modifying as a quick look at it appears the left, lower portion is set a bit higher then the right side.

overall i think most of the work has been done to convert to the 599xx by H.D. hopefully all thats needed is to do the detail work *cross fingers* which still keeps most of the fun factor there.

i also had to have a quick chuckle as besides the wheel size is incorrect as mentioned earlier, the instructions still have the rear luggage straps in photoetch (the 599xx has a stripped rear interior in light gray).
