How cute!
 And it's a cab 12 at that. Might have to re-learn my modeling skills!  Pity the rear window lets it down...

inaccurate copy
OK it is a copy of the inaccurate and not to scale Tamiya Quad kit. I can tell from the way the engine mounts in the chassis.
Also wrong are.... Step plates for the cab should be level with the lower mudguard Chassis is missing one or two crossmembers Rear driveshaft should be 2 piece with a pivot bearing at one of the missing crossmembers. Rear cab window is wrong Also seems to be a lot of space between the corner of the seats and the engine cover or dog box as it is called. Windscreen is wrong especially where the door pillars are. And that is just at a quick glance!  Pity these so called model makers can't get things correct before charging people for an inaccurate kit.

CMP in 1/35
I'm still waiting for Italeri to issue a proper kit of this classic in 1/35. A few years ago I emailed them and got a favourable response. So who knows we may see one even from Tamiya!

@ Cliff; and I thought that this would be a fine model. However - the the manufacturing quality seems to be good to me (compared to other resin models). Would you think that the mistakes could be corrected by the modeller or is it a "lost kit"?
