Is this the front bumper problem everyone knows about on the FATF 1/24 model?

If it is.. how should I fix it? Sorry about the poor picture quality I took the picture with a $20 CND webcam. And I blew it up 170%

That sort of thing is not un-common with cars that have the bumpers molded seperately from the body.
You just need to trim a little off of either the bumper or the front of the body (which ever works for the kit you are working on).

:p

I have this kit with the exact same problem. It looks like a clearance problem both at the front and at the side. The bumper doesn't push back far enough, and the side flares out when you push it as far as you can. I'll be interested to see your solution to this... or if I get around to building that car someday, I'll tell you what I did.

I see, well I'm not working on any models until I get into my new house (2-3 months) this little apartement isn't good for modeling. I just wanted to get some input.
Any other suggestions?
