Thanks a lot for the kind words, y'all!
Bob, it's the kit supplied assembly, and looking at the "Stars & Stripes" review on Cybermodeler, my 'vette has the same decals/clear plastic cover as yours, only mine had a decal simulating the tape that sealed off the light covers.
Mike, thanks for the google heads up, I could've sworn I saw a pic with the driver holding his sabre out of the window (Chaaarrrgggeee!!!)
