Finally! This one really got the better of me. The engine was great fun to build but everything else was a disaster. I ended up painting it twice due to an untidy overcrowded workbench and leaky glue:mad:.
Reviews of the kit that I'd read had said about fit issues at the rear end so I test fitted it several times and it looked sweet... Until final assembly and now it fits like a clowns shoe.
The window parts are way too thick and a complete nightmare to fit, especially the side windows which seem to be a totally different shape to the hole they're supposed to fit in especially at the A post.
And I think the wheels look a bit small.
Anyway. I couldn't get on with the Peugeot for the rally GB with this glaring at me from the shelf so I rolled up my sleeves and went into battle with it. It's not my proudest moment but on display behind glass it looks OK.
