Well after 50 years of trying to complete this model, I have finally completed an Orange Crate model. Back in 1973 my father bought me this kit to keep me busy on our vacation in L.A. California. He asked me what I wanted, and this kit was it. So he purchased this along with a tube of glue. After multiple attempts and 3 other kits, I've finally succeeded at completion of my 'Holy Grail' kit.
Its not perfect by no means, but everything works.
Thanks for looking.
