I think I have read some good things about this kit, should be a good one.

 

[Steve Brodie]

The front suspension and steering, was a nightmare to get constructed - over engineered, you need to read two steps ahead and then its still dosnt make much sense with the instructions, but its attached now. The suspension arms dont have a very firm location so will be amazed if all four wheels touch the ground together. may have to sit on a slight bumpy hill !!

[SIZE=10pt]Going great guns with this kit, only have the doors to put together, gun(s) and can then get some paint laid down – when goodness only knows, busy all weekend starting from Friday night (plus have a review build of HobbyBoss Leopard 2a4 to get started). All the major sub-assemblies will be painted separately and then brought together at the end. Was chuffed last night when I test fitted the wheels and every one touched the ground, wasn’t sure that would be the case, as some of the mounting points for the axles and suspension were a bit ‘woolly’ to say the least. Hopefully get some photos as to where I am up to, up on line over the next couple of days. [/SIZE]

Ta,


Thats when it will slowdown a bit, plus all those transfers for the inside camo and then masking the camo
