Here is my 2010 24 hour build. It is the Revell of Germany kit. Kit # 07253. Overall I thought it was a very nice kit. No major fit problems. Mike gave me a heads up on the kit glass. Specifically the headlight covers. Not so good 
. My kit's rear wing seemed too short. I added sheet plastic to both ends. It now fits just about perfectly. Decals were nice and thin. However they wanted to roll over, (under), themselves more than any other decals that I can recall. Hope you like it. I think it turned out very well for a 24 hour build ;D.

. Let's see if this makes sense. Where the covers attach to the tree, there was not a nice little attachment point. The glass is beveled and the attachment point was a big chunk that screwed up the bevel. So when you cut the cover off not only did you have to level out the attachment point but then try to file/sand the square chunk down to the bevel. Does that make any sense 
. Also the outline of the cover did not really match the curves of the recess in the body. I did a lot of sanding to get it acceptable. Good thing I have low standards ;D.
