    I know the listing is for a UMI kit. I'm just wondering if the assembled and painted model is also a 1/24 UMI. I remember when this came out. Limited edition of 50. It was the first complete resin kit I ever bought, and boy was I disappointed. It looked like it was mastered and copied by a team of crack-smoking monkeys. The metal parts look like the were carved with a chainsaw. Brittle resin with bubbles in areas that would be really difficult to repair. After owning it for several years, I had decided to throw it away. I first considered selling it on ebay, but I didn't want anyone else to feel screwed like I did. Even with warnings that it's garbage, I just knew someone would not be able to live without it. I ended up trading to a dealer for a Fisher 512S. He wanted it for himself, even after I warned what a dog it was. A couple of years after the trade and he said he had pretty much given up on making it look like a 712 Can-Am.

    Anyway- THE KIT IS GARBAGE. YOU ***CAN***LIVE WITHOUT IT.
