Stuart, Kari - Thank you so much! The kit was not horrible, but there were a lot of tight tolerances and I struggle with those. so, the hood and truck lids are glued shut. All in all, not a bad time building it.

Thank you, Brent. More than a few, “Well, duh...” moments (see headlights, fogged), but Tamiya has. Pretty good kit, I think,

You know what Lyle? That turned out pretty dang good. I know this one fought you and all but you've got that much more experience behind you with an auto build. For me this is where it all started. I did one and suddenly I had to do another one to top the first one. You know how it goes.
Congratulations on a job very well done. You know you're gonna have to take some studio shots now right?
