Not a fan of Tim's videos. They are painful to watch. I commented on here before that I could give one of my models to the 6 and 7-year old boys across the street and they could make a better video review than anything I have seen from Tim.

While somewhat informative he does seem to struggle  with the names of the different mechanical components represented on the parts trees.

Am I the only one who's "perplexed" by the moulded-on engine oil pan , but a separate transmission oil pan ? 

Looks like a nice kit regardless !

It appears there was a considerable amount of reorganizing and reworking of the mold. The (now transparent) tail lights have an entirely new runner around them, as do the small lenses, as seen in this screenshot from Jon's video:

 

Here's what the stand-alone tail lights looked like in the Waverider kit:

 

And how the other transparent parts were laid out in the Waverider kit:

What’s the piece next to the windshield? It almost looks like the piece that mounts under the grille.

Nice review Jonathan, but when you describe the kit in the beginning of the video, you state that it is 1:24 scale. The box art shows 1:25 scale.

The clear plastic chin spoiler does seem a bit odd.

Haha, whoops,  that was a mistake, thank you for letting me know.

Yep!! You spotted it!. I thought it was one of those tinted plastic hood leading edge protectors when I first spotted it. But when he placed it next to chrome grille it was clear (see how I did that?) what it was meant for.
