Hi folks, this is the first musclecar I've built since I was at school (back when UK model shops were bursting with AMT and Monogram kits... not any more ;) ).

I liked this kit, it's pretty simple in terms of chassis and interior assembly, the plated parts are nice, and the fit is mostly very good - EXCEPT for that ###### warped hood!!! I just wish it came with raised-letter Goodyear Eagles.

Trouble is, I always make things harder for myself. On this build, I had the genius idea of fitting the rear axle/springs before the exhausts - so I then had to cut the exhausts to get them between the axle and the chassis. I also decided to attach the scoop to the hood prior to painting....... then realised that the scoop needed to be painted black and would now need masking off. Now you know why British cars were built so badly :lol:

Looks pretty good, Simon!!

If you're interested, I've got several spare sets of the Goodyear Eagle VR50s. Send me a PM to discuss getting them across the pond as cheaply as possible.

Regards,
