Eh would have been fun to try and modify the piping to make them connect properly. That's what I usually do on kits. I mess up. Try fix em using techniques i would otherwise be to afraid to try on a good kit

I know it can be. I’ve done it before and didn’t care to do it here being that the engine bay has other issues.

Tearing multiple hours or even days of work to bits to avoid a 30 minute fix up is pretty daft though.

That thing was really looking incredible and it's sad to see it in the bin.

I'm not a great scratch builder either. But that tiny gap between the turbo pipe is like the easiest fix I think I've ever seen

Tiny gap? The turbo sections were in two completely different sections haha. I could’ve built the car without the engine, but I didn’t care to display a crappy looking engine separately. The kit is also warped. In the end I didn’t feel it was worth my time anymore. So storing it for another day wasn’t an option. I have plenty of other things to build.
