It was one of my first builds when I got back into modeling. The body lifts off. All in all, the fit is awsome.

I'll have to add this to the pile, as I have all the other versions of this kit. Over all, a fairly painless kit for Revell to re-issue. I sure wish they'd update the C6R to more recent ALMS versions body wise at least.

I managed to get my hood off....it's a huge pain but it can be done

Just FYI, the '03-'04 body on the C5R is different from any of previous bodies as well as the engine air intake is one piece. The '99-early '00 is the first version they did with the longer hood vents. The '00-'02 body is the second version which is the one you see in this kit. The biggest difference is the shorter vents and large air exit area in the hood. For '03 they added much larger vents over the front wheels, changed the air exit area again, and a few other minor tweaks. To do a completely accurate '03 you need to do these mods or get one of Scale Productions transkits which already has the hood separate. They pop up from time to time. Harold Bradford from HRM did the early bodies and are fairly easy to get.
