Another great rescue! As someone guilty of both extra driving lights and bright yellow slapper bars on my early builds (usually done with more enthusiasm than skill), I kind of miss that those had to be 86ed but can't argue the decision.
Also, seeing it next to the AMT/MPC version...yikes! I had used mine as essentially a cartoon car plus I painted it black, so the wonky proportions aren't quite as noticeable. But after seeing this I'll still have to keep it far away from the Revell kit once I build it.
