Let me start by listing the problems I've found in this kit. Although the kit has good-looking headlight covers, the one piece bracket part doesn't have the lenses. It also has noticeable pin marks that have to be removed |
|
|
The windshield assembly includes the frame, which has to be painted in the body color, so masking can't be avoided. Also, it doesn't have the rearview mirror, so it has be scratchbuilt from a plastic sheet. The wiper arms and blades can be represented with after market parts, but I haven't decided to use it yet. |
|
|
The interior details a little dull, especially the grooves look shallow, but it can be corrected easily. The steering column doesn't have the turning signal and wiper levers. The parking brake lever has to be cut, correctly shaped, and reattached also. |
|
|
The door handle looks a little dull, and it will be engraved. The body came with a damaged side sill, so it has to be fixed, too. |
|
|
The only draw back of snapper is that the tail lights are almost always transparent red, and it's very difficult to make it look right. I will present two different techniques to make its appearance better. The rear bumper lacks grooves, so it will be engraved also. |
