The Aurora Kit is real nice, the Revell kit is a copy but the molds must not have been freshened up.

I have the body work complete and in primer. If I get motivated I'll post pix. I have too many projects to paint as it is, but then again, I am Social Distancing myself....

I know what you mean about alot of builds on the go, i currently have 14. I may have been quite here, but i've been painting them all like a madman, lol

Question 

I’d like to build mine without bumpers. If I mold the splash pans in can I still install the chassis?

The instructions imply otherwise.

Yes you can...i glued mine on from the start, but i had to alter the underside of the front splash pan in order to do so. Turns out it was the wrong shape anyway, so mine ended up more realistic, lol....page 2 will show you what i did. By the way, this car looks awesome with a bumper delete!
