I cut off the plastic ones and used aluminum tubing. It just looks so much better.

Side window vents are way to big.

It's by Ertl so that's to be expected. And it's from the 90's. At that time it was the only '63 coupe in 1/18.

Actually, I think if the recessed portion of the vent window was painted black to simulate the gasket then it might not look so wide. I did not paint mine but I did put some acetate in as the model lacked 'window glass'.

Thanks Rand but not really. I'm just very picky about the way a model looks !

OK, let's clarify this. Are you saying that the FRAMES are too big (thick)?
