Little Red Wagon

This model was fun to work on. My results were award winning and thief inspiring, unfortunately

The kit can be built stock or drag version. It has tires and engines for both which means you get leftover wheels and an engine. Just to highlight this point the kits comes with 2 full engines. It has wood grain stand to lift the front of the model for display. Some other extras include a wood grain bumper and spot light. The instructions are very good but have a few errors. They are 3 page single sheet with full instructions on each side (drag or stock). The diagrams are easy to follow and clearly show the location and orientation of parts. My instructions did have errors in part numbers and items left off for the drag version were shown in the next diagram. The decals are for the drag version and the colors really pop on red paint with clear coat. The parts are clean with some flashing. Tubular parts have mold lines. This is nothing that can't be cleaned up with a hobby knife. Mold lines on the body are very well placed and the only filler I used was at the front and rear valance. I enjoyed building this kit and will buy another to build the stock version. NOTES on DOOR HINGES: The kit has very good working hinges. There are two small hinge parts that glue to the door that hold a larger part that glues into the body. Note all the hinge parts have different parts numbers, so make sure you have the correct parts in the correct location. Before painting glue one small hinge to the door, let dry, then glue the second small hinge while inserting the larger part that glues to the body. Finally glue the inner door to the outer. The hinges should work fine. Dry fit the doors to the body and trim/file as needed. After painting the kit, place the door in the body and use 5 min epoxy to glue the hinge to the body.

This is a some what challenging model to build, especially if you've never completed one with opening doors. You need to install one hinge per door at a time; let it dry and then install the other. If not, you will break one off trying to pry it into place. You should plan to support the door in the open position at the bottom until the glue dries at the hinge. Take your time and have fun!
