I've never had an issue with the Tamiya kits I've done but most have been curbside. Now the AM kits. I finished a Corvette but never completed the McLaren. I did steal the engine out of it and put it in a 32 Ford drag car. That was cool. *NM*

Finished, yes finished, never want to think about it again. The most frustrating build I have done in years. I don't know if it was the kit or my inability to build a good model but I am so glad it is done. PICs
- Looks great to me. I've read your type of experience on this model and others that say they really enjoyed it. Afraid to start one. *NM*
  - I think my biggest problem is I am too impatience and I don't test fit as much as I should. If you do build one, make sure the chassis is aliegned correctly. That was my downfall. *NM*
- Terry,I struggled through one myself.It's not you or me,it's the kit. *NM*
- Looks great Terry, I know it's a finicky kit with tight tolerances but us short trackers have needed this type of race car a long time! *NM*
  - You are so right! I was ecstatic when I heard about it. As much as I hate it now, I will probably do another one very soon. *NM*
- Aside from the 50 or so sponsorship decals, looks fine. Nice work. *NM*
  - Thanks, check up the board. I went back and did some decals. *NM*
- I hear ya loud & clear, Terry. Got shelves full of frustration... *NM*
  - I try to sell off my frustrating kits and builds. Out of sight kinda thing. *NM*
- Looks good. Tamiya kits can be like that, and the Accurate Miniatures Corvette was like that when I built one ----
