I finished this up a little bit ago. Not terribly happy with it but don't think it's too bad. I didn't like the big headlights from the kit so I tried something different. I molded in some plastic tube and then put some Krystal Klear inside. ( still white but should dry clear ) I changed the tail lights and installed the rear spoiler. Lowered the front a bit but not the rear. I had other plans for this kit but early in the building I got tired of it and just wanted to get it done. It is what it is.

Hey , it's under glass ! ! It looks pretty good ! I like the color combo and of course your engine turned out great .

After watching your build I've thought about this kit alot . I'd have to compare it to building a 1:1 dune buggy after building cobra replicas for 20 years . It would get pushed into a corner due to lack of interest and collect dust and never get finished !

Congratulations on finishing yours .

I really like the color and I guess I could like the headlight treatment, given some time. The Spoiler thou, looks a little out of proportion but, You did a good job and should be proud of it!

I have taken some time and I still don't like the headlights. You try some things and sometimes it pans out and other times it does not. This was one of the does not things. : )

I like the custom touches - never anything wrong with trying something new - too bad your not all that happy with the headlight treatment, I think it's cool. The engine turned out great.

One thing that glares out to me is the front tires. They would benefit immensely from a little sanding of the tread - they are very noticeable on the Manx front end.
