This ain`t no weekender thats for sure  I find doing these big builds leads to a lot of repeated assemblies so jumping about on the build can be a bit more therapeutic |

Steve. It is, but so, far worth it.  Paul. They are piddly little things, aren't they. Mence, So far so good. We'll know more when I get the chassis done and see if all the tyres/tires touch the ground. Boots. It sure ain't. Jumping around helps me too as sometimes I find the instruction sequences just don't fit my style. And back to Paul and Boots. Looks like I'm not the only one, then. |

The 16 have become 8.
The first 40 have become 20.
 
The second 40 have become 20.
And a little paint work.
  
So much for that.

It’s all adding up nicely, or should that be dividing? Either way, it’s good progress buddy |

O.K. Got a small complaint with this kit. I mentioned in the review that there are a lot of attachment points from the sprus to the parts. That in itself is not really a problem 'cause my new Tammy slim jawed cutters are doing a marvy job. The issue is how some of the parts are connected to the sprues. A lot of the parts are joined on two surfaces.
Like this.
So when you cut them off, you get this.
Leaving you to have to trim them again. 
Not a big deal really but I'm glad all the parts aren't like that. That would a real pain in the butt.
TTFN.

That's a good point Jeff, but at least with this attachment method the risk of damaging the part is reduced . That's what I have found anyway |

Hmm, I found similar with some parts on a Takom build.
Seems odd as some manufacturers manage to do fine.
