To be honest , I never paid attention to this kit until I picked this one up on a clearance table at my LHS ( $3.89 !) . I started to build it after my son started playing basketball , joking that it looked like him playing . The build is all stock except for the clock which doesn't come as a decal . Paint is whatever odd stuff I had lying around . My son had the idea to paint the uniform and sneakers to match what he wore ; you cant see it too well but the league logo is painted on the front of the shirt . Its actually a pretty cool kit , its fairly large and Hawk did a nice job with the mounting areas -at some angles you cant see them and he looks like he's "floating " down the court ! My only complaint was the referee . He really has no place to go on the kit, and the instructions just say to stick him anywhere. I wrapped some wire around him and fixed it to the rear wall so it looks like he's getting bowled over.

He looks really snazzy ! .. Ole Francis was always a showoff.. There was a poem that came with the original kit in the 60's something like -
Poor Francis, though, was so sad, he very nearly cried, oh sure he won the game, But for the other side.
