Thank's Bryce,Slowlylearning,Retrospect kustoms, Slowlylearning the GTO is a Johnny lightning By AMT (38459),one thing to look out for when building watch for the airfilter,you need to file about 1mm of the rear and you have to sand about 2mm the side the next the guard at a 45% to clear the guard if you don't do that the bonnent will not sit in place,becarefull at trial fiting parts together as you can snap the pins off,Oh putting the two rims half into the tyre is a bit hard too,Over all its a very nice to build up,there were some resin bits around to turn this into a Monaro but they are hard to find.

I reckon this one deserves a spot up the top for a day. I mean, how often do we get to see Allan finish a build? He's almost as bad as me! byebye Laughing

Again mate, excellent build Very Happy
