Pros:
|
Small, well cast, easy to build
|
|
Cons:
|
no printed instructions
|
|
This is a considerably easy kit to build. Its small size makes for a great luggage cart on a larger station's platform, or could be used in a factory, or industrial complex.
My one Con is that it does not come with printed instructions. I bought mine on eBay, and there was no indication in the box, that there are digital instructions on the seller's personal website (linked in the product description). I did not find out until after I has assembled the kit, that the website (which is also printed on the box) contains the instructions.
In any case, assembly was straight forward. I used a gap filling CA. I glued the sides to the deck first. I then glued the "cab" front to the floor, then attached that assembly to the cart. The trailer's turning mech is press fitted to the deck with a short piece of brass rod. I used a set of pliers and some paper to avoid marring the parts, to press them togeather, leaving a little rotation room.
I'll be painting my cart & trailer yellow.
The seller does a good job of packing the kits, however they still managed to miss the seat. One email to the seller was all it took to get one sent to me, and it arrived two days later. Great customer service!
In all, if you need a small cart for any use, this kit may be the way to go!
