......... a few years ago I read a post by Walter Frey in which he referred to the Jawbreaker as needing to be renamed the Ballbreaker ............. I have to agree with him, as the John Milner dragster from More American Graffiti is just the Jawbreaker with a dragster body replacing the Bantam coupe body This old kit pulled the "warping" thing which I expected, but also surprised me with a decal issue I had never seen in 55 years of modeling .............. I coated the decals with Testors Bonder because of their age (as I have done with many sheets in the past with no issues) ............. however, the backing paper refused to release from the decal film even after 5 minutes in warm water ......... the backing paper was two ply, and the two plies separated from each other, but the upper paper ply still refused to release from the back of the decal ............ it took a lot of pulling with needle nose tweezers and slicing with a scalpel to finally get some of the decal to release from the final layer of paper ............ of course the thin stripes on the decals could not withstand that type of treatment The basic kit was painted with Tamiya Chrome Yellow (the first two coats went on great, but the final coat fish-eyed and had to go into the purple pond .......... and that caused the plastic to craze) ................ after much sanding the three coat sequence was repeated ........... this time with no major problems ........... I replaced the kit engine (which to me was a joke) with a small block Chevrolet from the AMT engine parts pack ................. the rest of the kit was assembled as best as could be per the kit instructions ............... I believe you Walter ............ this thing can be a Ball-Breaker
