Her's my Viper. Citadel Bolt Gun, Polly Scale Reefer White stripes. Future gloss. Front end and hood are a lousy fit. Not a great kit.

Very nice looking Viper!

I have been meaning to add this one to my Mopar collection for years.

Seems like everyone who builds this kit has the same poor fitment issues with the front. But somehow I still want it more than the AMT version. I built the AMT version when I was a kid and for some reason I wasn't impressed with it.

Alright I was hoping they would come back so I could see them. Good looking kit you built, I like the color. I think it needs to sit a tad lower, but with fit issues its nice to just get it completed and on the shelf. Your about a hour north of me so your pretty local :)

Turned out real nice Tim. I too like the color combo, and it looks good and straight. Can't tell that you had fit issues by looking at it. Nice work, and glad to see you over here too.

Thanx guys. Yea Steve, I live not too far away from you. Hey Dave! Nice to hear from you! I haven't been over at the other site for awhile. Got a better pc and lost all of my passwords. Last time I was there you just had a model put in a mag. Congrats! I need to find my pw and check back in. Lots of folks in our vicinity on here, good to see so many in our neck of the woods. Hope you've posted your builds, It'll be nice to see them. Allot of talented builders on this site.

Nice.

Your build is very credible given all the issues.

I'm just wrapping up a build of the Guldstrand Grand Sport 90 ... has similar front end/rear body panel breaks ... and has similar fitment issues! Obviously it must be difficult to get the body parts molds to interact correctly. My Guldstrand required some added plastic, shaved areas, added guide tabs, and filler ... plus lots and lots of fitting and re-fitting. More than I expected for what I thought would be a quick build!
