Its a simple kit but what it gives you is excellent. Looking forward to seeing this one come together Ron.

Thanks all. It's a simple curbside kit but I don't have much time to build it that's why I chose this one for now. I'll save the IMC E for later LOL.
While inspecting the chassis plate I noticed one of the rear axle stubs was broken off and MIA.
After scratching my head for a few I came up with a plan. I found a similar sized piece of sprue.
Trimmed it, chucked it into my Dremel and turned it down to fit the wheel boss.
Fits like a glove now.
This'll work!
Thanks all for your interest!

Ron, Just saw your build blog, so I'll be following your build for sure. Nice simple fix for that broken off rear wheel axle. Joel

Been slowly plugging along on this one as time allows. I got the wheels and chassis plate finished and I attached and molded in the tail panel as well as removed all the mold lines on the body. Still a little more smoothing to do and it will be ready for paint.

Ron, judging from the shade of white compared to the white of the plastic parts bin, I'd say you nailed the specific white color perfectly.

Finished it up today. It was a fun little curbside build. It's an early A.
Looks good with the C I did a while back.

Nicely done. One can really see the strong family resemblance.
