The last model car I finished, 9 years ago in 2004. This one was such a pain, the parts didn't fit, the flip-nose was very hard to stay in one place...this kit got me out of the hobby for almost ten years.

 

Thinking about it now, I have to applaud the model company for even trying to do a 1:25 flip-nose. I might even try to build another one.

Thanks Derick! We'll form a '53 Flip-nose Ford support group for others who have had issues with this kit.

 

That F-100 / T-Bird was looking great! Too bad it got smashed.

 

That link to the Nightmare Kits post is hilarious- Totally peppered with references to the flip-nose kit. It ain't just me!
