Jack,
I can attest to scalehobbyist.com
Never had one problem.
Great selection. I window shop on the website whenever I can at work!
I almost exclusively use them, almost. I do use Micromark, Syren, etc....
There in my state, so my money stays in state.
Amazon has enough money, they don't need mine.

You bet. It's critical to get the best use of these new paints. Your box lid for the set was absolutely no help.

This may be, but I'm not so sure of that. Seems to me if this were true, the inside of the coil would be flat, but it's not. The spring coils are round inside and out. For sure you can see the parting line down each outside half of the coil. but the inner coils retain their perfectly round shape. That's what I can't compute.

It's the first one I've seen done in plastic as well. Can't even imagine the mold it would take to do that, then to get it out of the mold makes my head spin.
Yes, this has been a fun kit to build so far. Fits together very well. The paint set sells for around $12, so the price is right. Then it's lacquer based paints as well. Dries fast and hard. Very much more scratch resistant than water based acrylics but stinks a lot.

Remember when we built model cars and a detailed kit would provide a lump of plastic that resembled a coil spring? No more, this kit has the first fully formed set of coil springs I have ever seen in an injection molded styrene plastic kit.
Then here are the additional suspension parts added, upper and lower control arms, hubs, tie rods, etc.
Next will add some more paint to cover the newly added parts.

For this model, will be using the Mr Color desert yellow modulation set.
This is a four color set with varying degrees of desert yellow.
The idea is to start with the darkest color first, then build on that to lighten the dark shade to give the model a feeling of depth with the paint. Four-step process.
Because more chassis detail gets added in subsequent steps, it's best to get the first dark coat on now before adding more parts. This will make it easier to get the entire thing painted.

Sure can't fault you for that. A lot of the old hot rodder in me, too.
