When this kit came out I made the mistake of getting excited, especially when I read the glowing review on the Atlantis' website.
I remember building it when it first came out, and it went together well, and the wheels and tracks worked unusually well.
So I bought two of them, and ironically enough, they BOTH proved to be rubbish that my money was wasted on.
BOTH OF THEM (I bought them from two different sources) had the same problem of the upper hull being bowed with the front and rear fenders distinctly curved up.
Then add to that, the hull bottom being DISHED IN THE MIDDLE, so it was warped into the exact OPPOSITE direction of the upper hull, curving down at the ends, making any sort of a decent fit impossible. I tried clamping, etc., and the one I worked on looked like a wrecked vehicle, with major gaps on both ends, etc.
