Beautiful build! Don't see many of these built, which is a pity. This was one of the first kits that I built when I got back into model kits a few years ago when recovering from a hospital operation. Mine now needs restoring after sustaining some damage during several house moves, so I will certainly borrow that trick for the hood hinge.
Outstanding. That's a difficult kit (I'm a little intimidated to build mine) and you did a great job.
Very nice build, I've seen this kit a few times, but never bought it, as I wasn't sure what it was like to build, next time I see one, I'm snapping it up ....
Heller kits are often heavily criticised, but the ones in this series are very detailed, especially considering their age, and are also of particularly interesting & unique subject matter. With this one, the only problems I remember having was getting the rear suspension to sit at the correct ride height (just requires some trial fitting prior to gluing) and that the engine mounts needed tweaking, so that the engine would fit correctly, & thus the radiator top hose could be installed properly. Well worth building!
