Hi all. It's time to start a new box.🙂

Here's what I chose this time.

This is the first time I've come across such a short manual.

IMG_7693.JPG.2d0dbe2c16093f0943feecf020e5715b.JPG

A very, very small leaf and everything is explained very small and briefly.

As we can see from the instructions, this is a snap kit, but it is not at all suitable for beginners. Partly because of the poorly understood instructions, but more because of the fact that this is a very highly detailed snap kit. And this is very good for me.

Let's start looking at what's in the box.

Mirrors are given with a metal sticker, it's very, very cool. For the first time I see this in AMT kits.

The rubber is also of excellent quality.

First of all, I decided to correct the shape of the engine cover.

Before.

After.

Next, I made the missing parts where the high voltage wires will lead.

Hello friends, let's move on. Exhaust pipes without holes, fix, pick up a drill and make beauty.

The radiator grill is completely different from the original.

IMG_7738.JPG.743cd1b68ab7da62c5cc91202eae2e9a.JPG

Headlights and back lights too.

Looks terrible.

I puttyed the holes and ground the pins off the headlights and back lights.

I cut out the kind of radiator grille that AMT offers us, made the shape of the pusher from a two-component putty and, using a grid, made grilles that look like an origal.

Next, I took drills with a diameter of 3, 4 and 5 millimeters and drilled holes in the headlights.
