Despite how much of a dog this kit has been, you're turning out a great build here, mate! :smiley:

That's a beautiful result of a lot of labor and language.  Almost looks like you used that shrink ray again.

Hi all I've done what I can to the rear suspension, cant do much with the front as the way they've moulded it I would have to cut it all out and start again (its moulded all on one plane when in fact it is not) also the tie rod is moulded where the front calipers should be, I cant move it to the back as I would have to cut a channel in the back wall for it to run in.

On the rear brakes there is no backing plate for the handbrake cable or hydraulic pipes to go.



It just so happens a tap washer fits the bill perfectly 





Drilled the holes for the cables and pipes to go through.

The finished product looks great ... just too bad that Revell turned into such a struggle  :P
