Sorry to take so long to reply. Nice choke kit. (Rotten car) I agree it would be a criminal waste of time to modify this kit. I like your comment about hoarding kits. My father was exceptionally gifted in this particular talent. I inherited all of them when he died. I couldnt even guess how many there were. Mostly aircraft, that was his thing. I have built hundreds as a kid and far fewer as an adult , (there never is the time). I also contributed to the stockpile by purchasing many myself. I have sold hundreds but still two cupboards and four large cartons full. I have all but given up any hope of building them as my spare(!) time is engaged in numerous other activities. I still have a heap of early Frog and Airfix aircraft kits as well as many other vagueries. I would actually like to sell more of them but would prefer the antiquities to go to a collector or someone who respected the value of them. Even better someone who could build them well. (they are , as you may understand of questionable quality detail wise). As I said they are mainly aircraft so not of much interest to most people on this site I guess.
