Very nice build, Lyle! Looks like Revell hit the mark again! Thanks for the build tips. Is there any way to make the headlight bar mount better. Just finished my 32 and found that assembly to be the most finicky ever! Your 20th 32?!?! So.. I guess you like 'em? ;D

Nice work. Thanks for the tips. I, too, am looking forward to getting one of these kits to work on. So many directions to take it tho. One would need a fortune's worth of these to go all of the options!!

Very nice build, Lyle! Looks like Revell hit the mark again! Thanks for the build tips. Is there any way to make the headlight bar mount better. Just finished my 32 and found that assembly to be the most finicky ever! Your 20th 32?!?! So.. I guess you like 'em? ;D The headlight assy IS finicky. I use a VERY SMALL drop of medium CA glue on each fender and put the bar on. After this sets up for a few minutes, I put a drop of white glue on one of the "nubs" where the headlight bucket mounts. I let this glue thicken up for a few minutes then hold the headlight bucket in place FOR AWHILE. When it is stable, I do the other headlight bucket. When both buckets are stable and "aimed" correctly I add a small drop of CA glue to the BOTTOM of the headlight buckets where they meet the bar. When this dries, it can't be seen. After all that,,,,,,,I mount the lenses with a small amount of white glue. Obviously, this all takes some time, but, since the Revell '32 kits came out in 1996, I haven't had any headlights fall of yet ;D
