This is a very tight kit. Nothing is lose at all. There are poly caps in the shoulders. And I am repainting all of the frame. I'm useing black, Rust-all and Burt Sienna on the the frame. All the paint is Apple Barrel acrylic. I plan on put this one in a show. It will be my first. I've only been building for four months now. And I wish I would have started years ago. Oh well. Glad you all like it.
