I wish to preface the following by stating that I'm happy to have the 1975-1976 Dart Sport kits available (firstly the Rebel Rouser reissue of the 1975 annual ; and now the Dart Board 1976 annual) . Additionally , the proceeding isn't a jab at Round2 ; it is an observation of a flaw that's likely the result of what I'll call "core-shift" ; to wit : The wheelbase is off from side-to-side , originating from the front wheels' mounting points' "stubs" . Certainly , this kit can --and has been-- successfully "bashed" with either the Revell 1968-1969 383 / 440 GTS Dart or the AMT 1971 Duster 340 , and the results speak for themselves . However , my objective here is directed at the out-of-the-box builder group . To this end , I am going to attempt to rectify the front wheels' mounting stubs' off-centre issue , and do so in a manner that anyone whom wishes to build the kit box stock ; no kit bashing required . Certainly , I will 'add-to-personal-taste' some non-box-stock items (chiefly , a brake master cylinder -- the kit is lacking in this area) , and will be using wheels and tyres from the parts box . Other than that , the surgery I'm going to practise will be simple enough for anyone , using only basic techniques by , hopefully , not resorting to Evergreen (et alia) sheet plastic . Bear with me as I add photos . Fingers crossed !
