Just recieved my World Con Blaster kit from Rich and it is a thing of beauty! I was one of the lucky few who was able to secure one of the kits. The fit, castings and components are fantastic. All pieces are made to assemble using screws and no gluing. During the entire transaction Rich was very friendly and answered all of my e-mails and let me know the progress. As for shipping he actually under charged on it...

I also have a Sidkit version and was able to do some comparisons between the parts for myself. I found that Rich's casting are much cleaner and have a great more detail to them. His parts are finished more and the fit is a lot cleaner (actually dead on). Now here is where people may get peaved at me but I have to say it...Some of the Sidkit components appear to be recast/copies from RAC components. This is looking at both parts side by side.

All in all I am very very happy with the quality of the kit, it show how years of experience can culminate in something very good. I did spend extra for the tap and drill upgrade. After looking at the number of actual screws and the barrel fitting that extra amount was fine. (some of the fittings appears to have required holding jigs). I know a lot of people thought that the request for some additional money was not fair, but there is not a cast bolt head in the kit. Any ways I've got an early summer project and will photo graph the assembly as I go. Oh yeah, if you are watching this post THANK-YOU RICH!! Razz Razz Razz Razz
