It seems that the lack of plastic windows was one of the more frequent mistakes in the models.

As Nick on his website mentioned at the desciption of the M-7 Jennings Cattle Truck: "....simply because of poor metal flow in the die of the first one which did not cast the drop down `doors´ onthe sides properly..."

Here is a example of very poor metal flow.

The 20a model where a wheel was stuck behind the cab before it was sprayed.

Pity the wheel was removed before I got it.
