Dry-fitting the body over the chassis/engine combination.
Seems to fit well.

Normally I would strip the chrome from the wheels and paint the seperately.
But this time decided to keep it and paint the black using black permanent marker pen.
Not perfect, but good enough

Chassis completed. There's a lot of parts to be painted and glued. Tolerances are sometimes a bit vague and a lot of careful parts cleaning is needed. But it all fits well when done properly (don't rush things)! 🙂
