Hello named above, good gentlemen one and all,
Thanks for the kind words on the 250 build. My hunch is that the print was made from pirated 3D 'drawings' released by Cults or similar operation and adapted for commercial use and sold on Ebay (which is where I bought this one from). The small parts of the 'kit' are rather crude (actually very crude), but the main body, after much scraping, sanding and filing, wasn't really bad, and the wheels and track (which come as one, composite piece per side) are actually quite excellent (after all the de-burring and cutting away a filament sprues). I do have fingerprints left after all the sandpapering, but barely.
Currently working on another 250, but this time it's a very sophisticated 3D kit put out by Liam Models from S. Korea. It is a horse of an entirely different dimension. Hopefully, one day I can post it here.
Thanks again, chaps...
