The project started as way to spend spare hours during our Easter Holidays. Since last year we use to do that ... Usually as a back-up for bad weather ,,, which was not the case the day the picture was taken. In the backgound my missus crochet squeme.

Second coat of gloss red

Front suspension assembled ... then I started to get the feeling that the project was going to be difficult
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/8/3/9/1280839-15588-31-720.jpg)
That's what I ment ,,,,
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/8/4/0/1280840-15588-87-720.jpg)
Ugly gap to be filled ... to make things worst the clamp left a hideous mark in the gloss black paint that had to be removed.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/8/4/1/1280841-15588-99-720.jpg)
Second attempt ot glue the parts ,,, this time I was more careful with the gloss paint.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/8/4/2/1280842-15588-94-720.jpg)
As Tamiya cement was not strong enough to bond these two parts .... so I resorted to Cyano glue hoping that it would glue the parts and fill the gap at the same time.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/4/3/1280843-15588-31-720.jpg)
More clamping .....
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/8/4/4/1280844-15588-23-720.jpg)
Glued and filed , but still a noticeable gap
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/8/4/5/1280845-15588-98-720.jpg)
on both sides
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/8/4/6/1280846-15588-69-720.jpg)
3rd attempt to glue the parts
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/4/8/1280848-15588-88-720.jpg)
Using gloss paint to try to fill the gap
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/4/9/1280849-15588-77-720.jpg)
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/5/0/1280850-15588-14-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/5/2/1280852-15588-29-720.jpg)
Now the engine ... and more problems
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/8/5/3/1280853-15588-78-720.jpg)
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/8/5/4/1280854-15588-11-720.jpg)

![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/8/5/7/1280857-15588-99-720.jpg)

The engine + transmission has proved to be very difficult to glue and set in place. There are no postive locations and the barely discerned spring , makes it even more difficult, as it pushes the engine block out of this place.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/8/5/9/1280859-15588-73-720.jpg)
AS you can see , the spring pushes the transmission out of the base.

On our way home one suitcase fell over the box were the model was an it was destroyed beyond repair ... Well in fact it could be repaired ,,, but I didn't feel like , What started as an easy project became what I didn't expect ,,, so ... move on to another project ,,,, another Honda ... this time a Super Hawk from MPC

Album info
An easy project .... at least I thought it should be ,,, but it turned out tougher than expected . Started during our Easter Holidays as a back-up in case of bad weather. Since a couple of yeasr ago we use to to that ... my lovely wife takes with her a crochet project and I take an easy kit to build OOB ,,, in this case not so easy ...
