I bought this Marlin as a built model. The white has been painted on it. It needed some work, both A pillars were missing and the front suspension was broken off of the frame. I made 2 new chrome A pillars and new front suspension parts. The front wheels will steer, but I put a drop of Elmers glue on one to keep them solid. The next owner can easily restore the steering function. I plan to chrome foil this, but until then it is going on the display shelf.
