I'm only 99.8% happy on how this kit came out. I was not sure if I even wanted to post it.

I'm planning to go back to this kit to fix that .02% that is bugging me. But here she is anyways.

Model Kit: Revell Kit # 2534

Scale: 1/25

Glad to see you got this one done before the end of the year! It turned out really nice, I know what these kits start out as and how difficult it is to make it look good. Great work!

Looks great to me. I don't think I've seen this car before. The only thing that bothers me about it is that the wheel wells look too large compared to the size of tires; but that's a design thing and not a build issue. Love the detail work in the engine bay.

Looks really nice. I'm guessing that your issue with the kit is the way the hood fits, or doesn't fit. I have to ask, did you add plug wires to the engine ??? I know when I built this kit I did and that's where I traced the hood fit problems. This kit has some really tight tollerances and adding wires made the engine cover sit a few thousandsths too high, which didn't allow the hood to close. Hope that helps. Oh yeah, the worst part ??? You can't even see the wires after the engine cover is on anyway..........

Another thing that greatly effects the fit of the hood is the placement of the radiator and the positioning of the chassis under the body. if either of these are off even a half millimeter the hood will not fit well. If both are off you can almost forget the hood ever fitting.
