Pros: Looks great, crane interchangeable with heavy duty crane
Cons: poorly molded

Walthers has had this kit forever, and I think their mold is getting tired. The parts are molded, looking like the two halves of the mold are no longer lined up properly. Took allot of filing & sanding to get the track for the crane parts to be smooth enough to work well. The trolley for the actual hook, rests on two tracks, the way the mold is working out, the tracks are not quite wide enough for the "wheels" of it.

Overall its the best overhead traveling crane on the market, though its time is coming to an end, in my mind (unless the mold has been this bad all along!).
