The thing I remember most about this kit is rushing to complete
it on the Friday of the Hobby Show, held each November near the Toronto Airport. Bill
Allen remembers this model too, as I believe he helped me scrounge the same tail-lights six times - bits were flying away
at high velocity and thank you to all the club members who didn’t use their stock parts.
I got enough of it done to avoid treasurer-for-life Doug Mawson’s dreaded wrath and penalty.
The adventure on this kit was the wonderful detail set from
Model Car Garage. The observant reader will notice the fine grille and hood inserts,
but I left the 1:25 scale keys and keyholes alone for another day.
