For a long time I thought this kit might never happen. Mainly because it was announced years ago and had its release date pushed back multiple times. I thought for sure they'd get it out in time for DKR.
Treated myself to a Tumbler at the local shop, and scored a slew of lableless floquil jars for 25c each. Glad I dropped by.
So glad I bought the kit. It is not you usual car model; there is no whole body. Each panel of this thing is a separate part. Rubber tires are great, I never got the pod but I was afraid from the box art the front wheels would be too large, like the 1/50 hot wheels. Its not like that at all, very exact proportionally. It was totally worth the wait. Can't wait to dig in. I got out all my old stumpy brushes, it'll be dry-brush city.
Had a chance to see a real Tumbler in Philly last year. Look for some great reference in a build thread sometime in the near future. I recall hexagon mesh being used here and there. Probably should have grabbed some photo etch. Hey, any excuse to go back to he hobby shop.
