"Ill admit I cut a couple corners.
The molded in orange is dumb."
Don't look like any corners cut to me and whatever you used to seal that crappy orange worked well.
The stock kit has been reissued a few times, I would find one of those. I bet Spotlight Hobbies would have one. Your on your own on the dent. I tend to make my builds nicer than the subject.
I always liked this version myself, with the pentastar on the door and steel wheels on the back. You really got those Moebius AWB kits figured out and as always, nice job
When I was a little kid taking up the hobby my dad wouldn't let me build one without painting all the parts (with a brush back then). I guess he figured the longer it took to build one, the less he would have to buy.
