I love your build Alan, but the kit company seemed to take shortcuts. It is not a matter what I think for anyone else, but following the various builds helps any one of us when it comes to make a choice on future builds. A time will come when I have to give up scratch building and following builds like yours is a huge help to me and others when it comes to choosing a kit. Some look good out of the box but others like yours may actually be a better choice if it is possible to do some modifying on our own. I truly appreciate seeing all the builds.
