Thank you Glen Thanks Rich. You really attempted this kit twice????? I agree on another better version. Even knowing what I know after building it I doubt I could solve the fit issues.
-
Thanks Jay, shocks are on order.? Seriously tho, it sits level but for some reason in that last pic it looks a lot higher in front.
-
Very real looking Chris and excellent work. Engine super impressive?
-
Thanks....you know the specific issues I had. Certainly looks pretty good enough in the pics.

For those who have been looking in on my WIP for this build and my rant about this kit you know that I have no love for this kit. For those who haven't, well as I just said.....I have no love for this kit. Having owned a 1:1 914-1.8 and always wanting a real 914-6 my Daughter gifted me this kit, so I was all in to build it. This build is the 25th since I got back to modelling a few short years ago and this one gave me more fits than any of the others and as far as I'm concerned is the worst of them all. Thanks for letting me vent on this. Paint is Createx Opaque Red cleared with Future. Thank you Tom ("Modlbldr") for supplying me the wheels (that seem to scale out to about 18.5"). The supplied wheels and tires just seemed too small to me. The tires were an Ebay purchase. So here it is in all her glory? Thats all I got Guys'. Like the saying goes, "it is what it is" Thanks for looking.

I appreciate you guys' comments. I got most of the warp out and all 4 tires touching. I just can't do anymore with it. Someone said this is a challenging kit....yeah, no kidding.

You're doing great Buddy, would not have expected such a good result brushing. That's quite an extensive process but the result is impressive. -
Another build I guess I missed. Looks great John, sure like the rose color.
-
Missed your earlier posts on the Mustang. Wow James, that's looking great, love that red!!

Ha, as I type this I'm squeezing the body together on a part I had to re-glue after tearing it apart to try to get the twist out of the body?

I kinda feel like it's been a heavy weight fight Carl....and I'm losing ?? Well I do appreciate you're looking Joe. If this model wasn't a present from my Daughter it would be back in the box and forgotten. I'm gonna get it done but definately won't be one I'm proud of the result.
