Thanks for the comments everyone.
Dwight Ta-ala: Gotta love OD!!!
RAF120: The front fender flanges were removed and reinforced, a gazillion molded on rivets were removed, and the rear was converted from the two plate angled design provided, to a rounded cast plate typical of late models.
lizardqing2: That d%^ track really makes me mad. I may end up taking the rubber bands off and the indys on after the model show this weekend.
Tigerman: I knew the back deck needed something and a camo net seemed like the simplest thing I could wip out in a couple of hours.
shermanfreak: It is an exceptionally nice kit and would have been really nice right OOTB. In addition to the mods above, I also added quite a bit to the interior that wasn't supplied with the kit.
Dave: Thank you!
scubaboy99: Gauze, soaked in 50-50 white glue-water, painted brown, given a wash, and dry brushed with a lighter brown.
Thanks again everyone,
Robert
