Hi Christophe

The detail on the kit is more refined than that on the Dragon version. I did notice some dimensional discrepancies between the two, mainly the width of the roof and the front angle of the superstructure.

The tracks need a bit of trimming to fit together but look great when done:

The only innaccuracy I found on them was that the chevron cleats on the links are upside down with respect to the rest of the outer face detail. They're very small however so it's not very noticeable and would be a chore to fix.

Regards

Alex
