Thank you.
The chassis and interior went in with minimal effort and fits just fine as well. Still a few parts for the rear suspension need to be added.
Thanks guys. I played with the size of the Betty image to fit the model. Yes, it looks a little larger than how it is portrayed in the Heath art, but I had to fit it to the model too. And since to me it was all about Betty, that's what I decided on.
Thanks Dave, these kits have some fit and molding issues, but as you can see are quite buildable.
Engine and cowl are installed, time to add the rigging.
We are on the same page Robert. Nice to know it can be done at this point...
I guess I have bad luck with Monogram/Revell kits of this era having the tires packaged up against the glass. The worst part on this one is on the driver’s side of the windshield. Two other smaller spots are on the side windows of the same piece. (The rear glass is also affected with a small indentation from a tire.)
I filled the deeper etched spots with some CA and allowed it to dry without accelerator then I wet sanded and polished all the defects out.
