December 22, 2020Step one. Find part A5. There are eight sprues labelled "A" (to be fair there are only five distinct sprues). Need a hint? It's the grey one.....2
December 22, 2020Not called out in the instruction but you have the option of position for the front return roller.3
December 22, 2020I cut off the torsion bar heads because I'm evil that way. I was today-years-old when I found out that the torsion bars are handed..... I've only built about half a dozen kits with this suspension and I just figured out why I had fit problems with some of the suspension arms.4
December 26, 2020Orginal 75mm vs the 95mm upgraded road wheels.5
December 26, 2020Step 6 has you glueing parts V12, V34 and V41 together and then attaching them to the hull rear. I recommend glueing V12 to the hull first. This allows you to see exactly how it aligns with the hull.6
December 26, 2020With V12 in place, you can see how V41 fits into place. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how V35 is supposed to fit in between V12 and V41. My solution was to leave V35 off and just cover the hole with V28.7
December 26, 2020The parts for the amoured smoke candle rack are mislabelled in the instructions.8
December 26, 2020Not called out as an option but in Step 18 you have the choice of plastic or photo-etched parts.9
