I think your car deflated. They usually have a good shelf life, but every once in a while you get a flat one. 😛 😛 *grabs a seat*

Or.....I have a reeeeeeaaaally short attention span. Currently in my work area is this Alfa, Lancia S4, Lotus 102D, Peugeot 206 aaaaand a Suzuki. I will say, the Suzuki and Lotus stalled when I had to break out the air brush, but I did that today so maybe the attention will swing back ( if only for a moment😉 ).

Thanks! Now all I have to do is get the top half and the bottom half to match up....

I've seen that can be a real challenge no matter the skill of the modeler, best of luck on that part!

Some 5 years later, I have finally got the top and bottom to join together ( mostly ). The PE mesh for the radiators had these useless sides that fouled everything so I finally cut those off. Then I find that the butt end wasn't fitting properly either. I had to grind down this white metal bit that was supposed to act as a guide.
