started building some sub assemblies and the chassis, horrible soft grey plastic which has nice detail but some sinkage in areas and not as good a fit as Tamiya, lot's of fettling to make things fit and tons of seam lines and flash, enjoying the build so far though.


1st page of instructions

Started on the chassis, very flimsy and slightly warped

Engine and gearbox assembled

I do love the pe fan belts though

test fit

on to next page of instructions

test fit of engine and gearbox, gearbox brackets required fettling

rear diffs and suspension built up and dry fitted

front leaf springs and side step fitted

how it looks from underneath

and from the top

fuel tank on and more test fitting/fettling, nothing on this kit fits first go

transfer box dry fitted

all the prop shafts in

and the instrctions to where i am now

enjoying the build, lots of fettling though......to be continued........
