There`s nothing to pin it too and you would have to be sooooo precise drilling if it was possible, i would have to drill into both of those tiny ends above the leaf springs and then somehow align the wheel hub so it didn`t rock Anyhoo..........sorted now

It works and steady as a rock............at the mo Well from one catastrophe to another......if the wheel disaster wasn`t enough i messed up paint , Des yellow is one of my all time favs to do but it`s been a while and i`m kinda off my stride a little bit, so i had to do a re-pass over the cab and start again.
I tried somat that i did a while back on my Scammell only it didn`t work this time.........oh well!!
Anyhoo...........i`m sorta back to square one now, some washes on the rear deck applied but other than that.....not a lot!!

aaah setbacks...the one thing that makes us scale modellers stand out...it makes us only stronger (or so I tell myself) . Nevertheless, I like what I'm seeing here chap. And agreed, what's not to like with getting dirty eh

And agreed, what's not to like with getting dirty eh My preferred method is to pretty much stop and then get back to it with a fresh mind the day after.
