Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to model car building after having built about 15 flying model rockets. I'm finishing a Revell '68 Mustang GT 2'n1 and want to see if anyone else has experienced two problems. 1) The hood scrapes against the rear engine compartment cowling, which grinds through the paint. I should have noticed this earlier and fixed it by sanding the hood or the cowling, but since I'm so far along in the build, the only option seems to be to sand the hood mounting posts and the mounting post supports within the body. This is a less than perfect solution, but it allows for enough play to wiggle the hood open without marring the paint. 2) Final assembly of the body, interior assembly, and chassis assembly seems ridiculously difficult. The interior assembly mounts into the body, and then the chassis assembly clips into the front of the body and swivels into the body, but the engine (attached to the chassis assembly) scrapes against the engine compartment (part of the interior assembly), and the 4 mounting posts on the chassis assembly don't quite line up with the corresponding mounting inserts on the interior assembly. I've spent over 8 hours on the final assembly and ended up dislodging the front end twice, chipping paint on the wheel wells, seriously soiling the windows, and disturbing the bare metal foil trim. Has anyone else experienced these issues, and, if so, how did you overcome them?
