quality of the casting is excellent. \u00a0There are no pits, chips, or bubbles. \u00a0The vehicles look feasible, unlike other science fiction vehicles. \u00a0You customize the basic hull by applying hatches, stowage, and turrets.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4828\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4828\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
