I didn't spend a lot of
time on the interior as it's pretty much invisible once
the big head is on. I resisted the idea of putting the
included hanger on the skull so it can be removed and
hung up like some demented Christmas tree ornament. The
dashboard(?) was covered in Pegasus woodgrain decal which
is intended for 1/72nd scale aircraft but is way too large
for that purpose. In fact, I think it's borderline for
1/25th scale.
As I mentioned, the frame
is pretty weak once all the components are in place, and
the rear wheels mount to tiny lugs that really aren't
up to the task. I like those ventilated brake drums though,
and I'm pretty happy with my scratchbuilt shocks. What
a pity you can't see any of this without picking the model
up - not a good idea given its fragile nature. The rear
tires are styrene mouldings, unlike the fronts which are
the more typical vinyl. I flattened the rear tires on
the heating element of my Mattel Vacuformer.

the box, except for the added Milliput to
fill sink marks of course. Above

were backed with Milliput to avoid going right
through when grinding them out with the Dremel.

skull. A big improvement from the bug-eyed
look in my opinion. Below:
The one remaining shock next to my two scratchbuilt
items.
