I'm currently selling a set of KS armor in the Trade section in this forum ( http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=8338 ). I have a CAPRICORN ARMOR (CA) as my Scout, but I wanted to have something more accurate to upgrade the CHEST PIECE, and maybe other parts of my current costume. I found out the hard way that the KS armor is smaller (and I'm not a big guy either), compared to the CA, and I LOVE the customization I've made for my back piece, so the project of upgrading was scratched off.
Now, I've taken some pics of the one I'm selling (again, pics are there in the TRADE topic) which is 5 years old NEW still in the box, and in comparison to the video I saw here, mine is not as bad as the one in the video. Another thing, I trust in my own way of doing things when it comes to assembly or paint armor of any kind, but the helmet would be the exception to the rule with KS, which I would let him do it for me. I've heard the helmet assembly is not a walk in the park.
Another thing I've noticed is the cut on the "tank" on the back, leaving huge gaps in between. It doesn't go along with the shape of the back itself; so I would suggest to take that rivet out of the bottom (and whatever is holding the top) without damaging the tank itself, draw a line with a pencil where you should cut along to the shape, but keep the bottom intact, since it's where you will start the line along throught the top, and both edges should finish together at the bottom closer to your lower back. The cut around the tank goes mostly for the sides and the top... probably about an inch from the current edge depending on the area to be cut.
If I have a costructive criticism for KS, which I still admire and respect regardless of the current situation, and being one of the pioneers of Scout armor makers.... I would use some BONDO and sanding to cover or correct those gaps on the molds, and you will be surprised how much for around $20 could change everything.
