Default Re: Hercules Hobby 20 ft container trailer

Received and built my container over the last week.

I would say about 80% of a Tamiya container. Screws are a little soft, definitely philips and not JIS.
My roof sheet had imperfections in it, little bubbles and black contaminants embedded into it. I understand why Tamiya molds the poly in white and not clear, you will use way more paint. One or two of my corner pieces wasn't coated in their silver paint (not a problem if painting, but worthy of note). Instructions are nowhere near Tamiyas. Some stuff you had to guess.

Some of the decals aren't on the sheet, the maersk star logo for the doors, the .com logo, and another which I forget, but are in the manual. and I felt the side logos were a little big.

Just noting the not quite up to par stuff. It is still a great clone container and I would definitely buy one again! Also to note, Tamiya doesn't do a 20ft container (but has provisions for them front and rear on the 40ft trailer). I center mounted mine with some aftermarket twist lock cross bars.
