Yeah, the roofwalk is a little wide, its grab irons are clunky and of course it's molded on. I just shaved off the grab irons off and called it a day. There weren't a lot of options back around 1986.
Never said it would be a fine scale model, but the bulkiness can be mitigated with a nondescript paint job. (Save the lime green and orange for another project...)

I think it looks good in the photos. Cars were different. When every element is the exact same from car to car, it starts looking fake. Harder to get that 2-3 inch variation at 3/16 to a foot - so a bit of over-exageration isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I don't know if anyone saw my question about kinsman kits. Worth it?
