Why does this all not surprise me? These kits have quite a few issues and I'm swearing off of 'em. I haven't run into the above issue but it's probably out there waiting for me. I'm seeing lousy plating on my kits. ? And then there's that windshield thing.

I hear ya. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem when building the B version in the kit.

Last night (wee hours) I was successful in navigating the Revell website (I had to guess which button to click to bring me to their service request page.) I sent the request around midnight so they were probably sitting at their desks when my email popped up. This morning I was elated to find an email in my in-box with a weird foreign looking address. Yaaaay! My windshield is on the way ! Wunderbar!

Well after about 3 beers I said the heck with it and went on with the build. As you can see the engine mounts didn't line up but everything back of the trans was fine. I'll have to deal with the front when the time comes, may have to shorten the rad hoses.

Thank you, Richard, I tried to navigate the website but kept getting tangled up in 404s 

I can't make my email go out, Richard, is that address correct?

Nevermind, I got it straight! Windshield frame is on the way!

Great. Hopefully yours will arrive as quickly as mine did.

Calling it done. Photos under glass.
