watch out for that screen cos it will not fit and you will have to scratch one from something.......and dont forget the decals dont go on in the order the instructions show, you will have to think ahead to get it right

:D

been and copied n pasted from my wip thread elsewhere....hope this helps....but dont take my word for it, was just my expirience when building it


you would think you would put decal number 1 (and its opposite number 7) on first.....specially since they are the ones that go at the front of the stripes..........but 6 and 8 have to go on first so the yellow bits on 1 and 7 over lap!......shame they dont say this on the instructions...........but ive got a plan to bodge round it although i will have to trim a bit off the stripes
 

 

[monica]

cheers Paul,that is of some help,just remembering what you ,said there out of order, :D

Very nice detail on the engines there, and great work on the pod too, looks almost like a small car.
