As for the connecting parts to flip the nose front... forget it. They were too flimsy to use when glued to the radiator and frame. I’m better off leaving them disconnected. It’s funny when this kit first came out back in the 80s, it was easy. Now? Forget it.

Jeez!!!

That came out great Tom!! Unbelievably good looking car!
I used to think that those kits back then were easy too. They weren't. lol. Our skill level is way past the whole "done in a weekend" mindset as we just overlooked more back then. lol

Oh did I mention I applied gloss clearcoat with a brush to seal in the decals?

I figured I’ll do the whole car to give an even coat throughout.
