Pros: well painted, some separately added details.
Cons: plastic pin wheel holders again

Again, with the LBF cars, I bought this one before I knew of the "roughness" with the plastic pins holding the wheels on. However, though this is an RTR car, the previous owner opted to use screws, and lacked enough to install the wheels. I've since discovered that it was supposed to have the plastic pin, as in my previous LBF car review.

The paint is perfect, and smooth. It's got a dull finish.

The trucks are well detailed, however, I don't prefer the Brass LBF wheel sets, I'll be replacing them with some Proto 2000 wheels.

The side ladders are molded on, and look really cheep, the end ladders are separately added details.

Again, LBF has a good car, with a few minor issues.
