rear hingeing bonnet /scuttle/nose cone

I've seen this on a Robin Hood car:scuttle /bonnet/nose cone all joined together ,and hinged at the rear bottom of scuttle --is this standard on RH cars ?Would it work on Locost?

Yes it is standard on the robin hoods.

But as with any kits most people have modify it.You use the sierra bonnet catch at the front for them and bonnet catches at the sides.
I built a robin hood as my first ever built and will never build one again.

sorry what i meant was its not standard to all robin hoods you can have either system and i agree with your comments
on robin hoods what i cant understand is why they sell for so much when built?
