MTR3B v4 Currahee : Arrived!

Christmas came….erm….late, but who cares? I’ve kept everyone updated the last 3 months after getting in on the first 100 units and the delays that have slowed delivery. To be clear, I am ecstatic that LNR took the time to correct issues that were found and to update their manufacturing along the way to improve…

Gave in. KH1 inbound.
