Looks great. Weird that the first photo is reversed... Although, that would take some spectacular decaling skill! |

had some issues with this kit, directions call for installing the rear end assembly, installing the motor, than installing the drive shaft...had to cut one of the mounting stubs on the drive shaft. front grill insets 4 each had to be filed to fit opening, had decals for rear side window, but no side windows in the kit, made my own. hood on my kit seems to narrow. I didn't like the roof shape. The window trim seemed higher than the roof crown, so replaced it with the roof with one from a monogram grand Prix, roof. It also solved the windshield install as I used the donner kit A pillars. also rounded and repolished the window corners that are to square, on the rear window. detail 7 on instructions
just has call out of parts and what color to paint them, but no illustrations as where the go. New modelers would have no clue as where they go...
Now all that said, all these issues were no show stopper, I was able to work out all the issues. But if I was new to the hobby, wanting to build this kit, lacking the know how to work past the issues, One could get discouraged, throw the parts back in the box, and go play video games...after spending 40 bucks on a 24 dollar model at best...,
now Ill crawl back in my hole |

Looks good - and stay out of that hole, please! We didn't get interested in this hobby to hide from the truth, right? _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |
