Something about the front end not coming out of the mold right.
At any rate, when that 79 is built, it is awesome and very realistic looking.
Good Luck!!

Thanks. Is there anything else I should look out for? I was actually going to glue thin strips of styrene just inside the front of the body, and leave about a quarter inch stick out, all the way around where the nose clip fits. That way, I can slide the front clip on and hopefully have a perfect fit all the way around. Does that sound like a plan, or will I need to do something more drastic?
Do you happen to have any pics of it built? I have no idea how many of these kits they sold, but it has to be very few. I have been googling, and cant find any pictures of one built.
