Fair call lads.
I’m going to place the hull shell with no extra styrene into the Hooben category.
Now it’s reinforced, it’s easily up to H/L or Taigen standard.
There is almost no flex in it whatsoever.
The upper hull won’t add any support due to it needing to be removed for battery access but it won’t need to be.
The suspension pivots are the only weakness but that’s been mitigated a bit by filling the gap in the kit hull with styrene & glue, then the floor over top then the pivot hole drilled into what is virtually solid plastic.
Certainly no worse than a HL

The upper hull wont add support ?
is that because your using magnets to hold it together ?

Magnets or friction fit with styrene sheet wedges.
