HEY,
Thanks guys. Eric, im gonna be gluing the hood open i think, or atleast proping it open, so alot of the little things that dont fit and stuff, im pretty sure will be hidden. Not sure if im gonna do that though. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Randy,
I've built this kit also (and the older one) I didn't really have any problems with it but the one tricky part is the front bumber/bumper cover, it doesn't really have any true locator pins or holes to line it up with. If you pull it down too far or rotate it back too far then the hood won't fit right between the windshield and the front end. Just make sure you test fit before glueing and you should be fine. I'll post some pictures a little later this week if you'd like to see them.

I have built the kit untill the windshield broke the windsheild fits real bad the back fits under while the front is on top of body as you can guess it will look real bad

i cut it apart but just as i was finishing it broke so now the model sits , i suggest to all that have the kit to do the windsheild first

Ya i took a good look at the parts and started planning what i could do to it for the young guns group build. The only problem ive foun so far is flash, which isnt bad, but im also building revell's enzo, which has none, so im getting spoiled. Hey, post updates and stuff here, itll be like a mini little goup build.lol
