|
| Indeed, it all looks great, except for the plates around the engine. They're quite bowed. I hope that's just a sign of hasty assembly. Even though I probably won't buy this set because it's in the new colors, it does look they did a superb job with (...) (18 years ago, 11-Feb-07, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
