[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by cacole</i> <br /><br />The Proto 2000 tank car kits are just about the most difficult ones I have ever tried to put together. Too many small, brittle parts that are easily broken just trying to cut them off of the sprue, let alone being able to put them in place. <br /> <br />I found a Proto 2000 tank car that was pre-assembled for only $2 more than the kits, and considered it worth the extra price to pay what was no doubt some child in China with smaller fingers and better eyesight than I to assemble it. <br />[/quote] <br />[#ditto]Life is too short. Though I usually buy kits to save money, tank cars are the one thing I'll only buy RTR - I have too many unpleasant memories of the last time I assembled some MDC tank kits. <br />
