Pros: Great detail, nice paint
Cons: Lasks full brake detail, POOR truck install, brass wheels

These are some nice kits, but LBF made a few "mistakes" in my mind.

One, the included brake detail, but there's no brake wheel, or lever of any sort! The underside even has molded on brake lines.

Two, Brass wheels, what were they thinking, brass is out, I'll be switching to nickle silver on mine.

Three, plastic truck pins!? They were installed so tightly that I had to remove them with pliers. Then carefully make the hole on the truck larger so that it would actually swivel. Talk about not being ready to roll.

Four, the same plastic pin holding the coupler box. Its an unsightly lump on the underside of the box.

In the end, they got a plus, the car weight is nice & hefty. At least something was nice!
