It looks like it's top end rebuild time. If it's constantly bubbling, it's say it's a HG leak. BTW, you've heard Revell is reissuing the Tom Daniel Tijuana Taxi kit, right? I noticed it in your avatar...

No, I haven't heard. I'll check it out. Must've built a dozen of them as a kid. (common birthday present and fun to blow up and light on fire)
