amt 67 mustang fastback front section

[MrMiles]

i have an older release of the amt 67 mustang fastback, and the front area, where the grill, bumper, headlights, etc connect to is very poorly lined up to the rest of the body. it needs a ton of sanding to get it to line up, its too wide.  i found a video on youtube that someone built the new release and said it lined up great. is the new one have better fitment?  this is one of my all time favorite cars and want to build it

this is the exact box that i have that has terrible fit

The "new" one is the same as the one you have. I built one several years ago and started another a couple of years ago. No fitment issue with either one. This is the first time I've seen anyone mention a fitment problem with the frontend. Sometimes, you may need to do some sanding or filing on the areas that the parts meet to get a good fit.

I had a similar issue, I just glued one side at a time.

did you pull on the an end to get it to fit right while gluing?

I lined up one side and clamped it, then did the same on the other. It was not far off for me.
