Too bad you could have done this for my group build. An awesome build all around.
Curious... how bad was the kit?

It may have been a struggle, but you obviously won.
And you sure made it look great!

Thanks. Lots of flash, parts don't fit where they go, locating pins and holes don't match in size and location, surgery is needed if you use the 429, lack of positive locators on some engine parts. Just poorly engineered. One would have thought it would be caught in test shots.

The difference is the amt kits being released by and large are 60s tooling, this thing is early 2000s.
