Yes yes yes!! I fit all my parts before and after painting and 3 times before that! This kit is very close on the fit. I get obsessed with fitting. Yeah I have striped most the chrome, I just cleaned the shock from seams. The bell housing was apart from the spruce when I opened it and had to putty and fix the round curve to it. The bumpers I have started to clean. The rear bumper has a notch that is completely open so sealed that up with plastic and minor putty. Also the front bumper is a black decal, but It’s actually 2 horizontal holes on the 1:1 so gonna have to cut that slowly. My biggest challenge is the interior bucket doesn’t have the molded leather part on the front panel only the seat and side panels so gonna scratch that piece. So my plan is get the chassis done and check stance and fitment x2 then tackle the body and paint!
I did read up about the shack and how they had to add the pieces to sell it, very interesting but makes sense To fill a standard model box. And just watched the tales of the rat fink documentary super cool clip about revells models in that documentary if you haven’t seen it, I believe I streamed it on Amazon prime video.
