Just in case someone else decides to try this kit out I'll call out some errors in the instructions or build issues that may be encountered. So far I have found these:
Step 19 - fitting of rear suspension assemblies - apart from trying to get 10 parts aligned in one go you may find the #06 screws that secure the top hanger points (front & rear) to the chassis a bit hard to install. They seem a bit too long and I had to drill out the holes in the chassis and rear cross member with a 1mm drill so the screws went all the way in.
Step 22 - dashboard assembly. The tiniest part, that I'm guessing is the ignition switch, is labelled '133F' but should be '133E' The 'F' sprue frame is all the chromed parts and there is no '133'. You'll find this part (if you get your magnifying glass out) on Frame E and this tiny part needs to be painted wood colour.
Step 22 - dashboard assembly - a spring and a couple of tubes need to be attached to the rear of some of the gauges with superglue. There are very small protrusions on the back of these parts to locate the tubes/spring but easily break so take care.

Thank you Jeff for the corrections. I have this model in my stash and is looking forward to building it.
