Hi all.
I bought one of these out of curiosity the other day and when I opened the box I was amazed at the quality of the mouldings. They have very fine raised panel lines so 99% of you are going to go "Useless" and leave it alone, but I want to give it a chance.
And I can't spell Kangnam..
Does anyone know whether this is the old Hasegawa kit?

I think it's "related" to the Hasegawa kit, but I'm not sure if it's a copy of said kit.
Raised panel lines! Egad, it's a FATAL flaw!!!! Just kidding, I don't understand the guys who dismiss a kit (even if it's the only one on the market) because it's got raised panel lines. Doesn't make any difference to me whatsoever (and no I'm not one who rescribes them either.

ABSOLUTELY...............................have no idea.....
But hey, if the mouldings are good, then go for it......I do rescribe panel lines depending on the complexity.....Its hard to pass up a rare one......
