'32 Chrysler Imperial Gangbusters

Busy kit. Seems like a lot to build on this kit. Has some flash. Not to offend any snow flakes but this kit does include nice copies of some firearms. A safe. And the motorcycle. Has bullet shot windows as a option. Nice scale, looks right in size. Fast shipping.

Was a little bit of a challenge with the flash on almost every part. Just have to tale your time and be wit h the small parts. They will crack easily. The figures, safe, money, parts with bullet holes and guns go with the gang busters theme very well. I built it stock.

I really dislike criticizing kits, but in the interests of fellow kit makers, I have to be honest here. This kit was a major disappointment. Maybe I got that bad apple, but maybe not. Pros: creative with the guns, safe, bullet holes, etc., although I didn't use most of it because it seemed a bit corny. Cons: very cheap, lightweight plastic that was easy to damage. Extremely limited, confusing, and often inaccurate instructions. For example, several part numbers were wrong and it says a square icon directs what suggested colors to use. But there are no squares and no list of colors. Several small parts had fallen off the sprues and I almost lost some of them. This is due to the cheap plastic used. One direction says to scrape the chrome from a part before gluing. Good advice, except that part wasn't chromed. I spent most of my time scraping flash from most parts and trying to figure out the obscure and limited instruction sheet, which consisted of four pages. They put so many parts on each page with different sets of numbers for each, that it was very hard to decipher things. I would not recommend this kit to anyone, beginner or pro, unless you like dealing with the things I've listed. I've done over 50 kits the past 3 years, some with a few issues, but this one stands out as the worst and most frustrating of the lot. Sorry for the negativity, but forewarned is forearmed.
