I fiddled with front end. Found engine bay was not sitting on pins so I enlarged holes and it sits "better". Now the hood doesn't close and front fascia wont sit all the way against fenders.. Plastic wins; I'm tired of taking this thing apart. I think they all look like they sit up in the front due to front wheel opening higher than rear one. I've seen two others posted and they both look that way; and one even has the hood issue. It ain't Tamiya fit and finish. On to the pictures. Sorry about the hood support, I lost the rod that came with car.
