The mighty Screamin' line, really a great set of kits. At 1/4 scale, this beast is really quite intimidating. I have him on my top shelf (he won't fit anywhere else) and he is always looking down at you with his rifle ready to go. This is a very well done piece with a lot of nice detail. It isn't as high quality as the Kaiyodo kit, but it still holds its own. Trimming the vinyl was no problem as vinyl cuts very easily when warmed with a hairdryer or heat gun. Assembling the rifle was tough because I didn't have any instructions and the rifle consists of a bunch of resin and cardboard pieces. I had to refer to a lot of reference material to try to get it right. I'm still not sure if I got it right though. Painting wasn't too bad, just be sure to paint before you assemble to be able to easily get all the black done right. The kit has a little trouble standing on its own so I filled the legs with Plaster of Paris to weight the kit and then I put it on a wooden base to further increase stability. Screamin tended to have a little difficulty in making their kits stand on their own. That's to be expected from vinyl though. With a little careful heating, you should be able to get yours to stand ok. I got this kit on eBay for around $20.
