Hello Everybody! My next project is the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 snap kit by Polar Lights. This is a simplified version of the movie car but still an adequate representation. It should provide a good platform for a skilled builder to to add as much detail as they want. I do plan to bump up the detail a bit here and there, I'll have to see how it goes. The first order of business is a test fit in the hope of identifying any potential problem areas. Ah-Ha! Here's one here. The locating tabs on the forward ends of the fin pieces seem to interfere with the positioning. They may have to go. But in the meantime, it's on to the basic body prep. First some primer. Then some sanding. Given the age of the molds, the body castings aren't too bad. Just some standard parting lines. That's all for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.
