40' Single Sheathed USRA Boxcar

My second attempt at building a car from a kit. The first was a flat car, which was deceptively easy compared to this one. The parts were all well molded, with very little filing required. The instructions were pretty clear, but some terms were used with which I was unfamiliar, which made things a little more difficult, but that was my fault. Unfortunately I didn't have the proper tools to attach the numerous hand grabs so I had to wing it. Attaching hand grabs is not something I ever want to do again, so I will leave that to the super-modelers. I also don't see why so much effort is spent modeling the underside of the car, when no one will ever see it. This comment clearly marks me as worthy of scorn, I know. Because of the low price and the fact that it does look good I recommend this, but I doubt I will ever build another.
