Re: Wedico???
I have built just one Wedico Trailer. Tedious abd no suspension. Almost all of the screws are the smaller ones of the Tamiya kits. All use nuts not threaded holes. But they were all stainless screws. Lots of hemostat work - both hands.
As for my loader - with some advice from other builders before I started was to pre check all fit and function of all parts as I went. many holes for flat head scres needed to be chamfered deeper. Some things the hole patterns were a bit off. Several instances of the guiderails (threaded 1.5mm rods that are bent) had poor threads.
Instructions were are hard to follow - and there mere many lengths of screws - I had to use calipers to sort them before I started.
I have heard it said that Euro builders aproach a kit with a perspective that - the kit is a basis to build a model - treating even a standard kit as though it is a custom one off. And that the opinion of the american builder is that - even a one off custom kit should build as easy or easier than a kit that is produced in the thousands.
- I do like Wedico kits (no personal experience with trucks) - they have lots of detail - For the high end collector who treats them as delicate machines - I think it still works in the grand scheme. But this doesn't excuse kits that strugle with the most common of build and assembly issues.
