This Bilek WC-54 (ex-Italeri) is Bernie's first completion for 2021. He reports that there many issues with the kit: a warped frame and roof which made everything else hard to fit and required lots of Tamiya putty. Because they wouldn't fit, he left the door windows out, and the doors closed because of the lack of interior detail. The roof rack and side-mounted radio antenna were resin but the railing along the wood rack was broken and twisted and the antenna mount broken so he ended up replacing both with scratch versions. There were other resin parts he opted not to use (a box, siren and police light) because they were for a USAAF MP version. Despite the major faults, he plans to buy another kit becasue of his interest in the subject.
