Default Another KAT on the prowl

Much has been already written about the chinese KAT, so i won't bore you with many of the particulars. I have been asked a couple of times though what i thought of it........I would venture to say that some unique building skills are required to make this a more working models. I was disappointed but not supprised at the workmanship. Loose screws, missing screws, filled-n-holes, bent-undercarriage (when received) loose turntable, etc. Over all though, i figure that i have a good set of parts to work with at a relative inexpensive cost. For the time it would have taken me to get all the pieces drawn, laser cut , time involved, i would have spent close to this money money.

I have already started changing some things on it.
