Ok.....small up-date Been a tad busy with work  Underneath primered to Grey and then sprayed back to White  , some of the sussies in satin black but a small bit of alloy work needs to be added yet........the wheels are awaiting their alloy colour as well plus the `zorst etc The body has been primered and then smoothed down with some 3600 micro cloth and buffed with one of Halfords finishing sponges..........it`s as smooth as silk now , i`ll give it another coat and do the same again with a finer micro cloth before laying down the top coat.............which will get the same procedure
   
Gotta say the fit on these Belkits is superb..........the locating holes are spot on and nice and snug, as good as a Tam kit so far, non of the above chassis stuff is glued as yet but you can pick it up and turn it over without nuffin` falling off............i`d defo do another one of these kits..............in fact.....ok...i`ll leave it there 
The only worry i have is mating the two halves together, the body rolls underneath the vehicle slightly and makes it tight (very tight) to get the chassis in place........i`m hoping it don`t ferk me paint up when it comes to putting them together 
More soon as |

Pete, Chris and Jeffers.........thanks fellas Chris.......i`ll have a tussle with it and let ya know bud Ok.............some more Detail painting of the under-crackers is now complete and the mini-lite wheels have had they`re tyres fitted...........these had to be soaked in boiling water other-wise there was no way they were going on , the wheels are D/F`d at the mo as i need to add the brake discs
   
Right i`m off to check out the glazing |

Jeff and Pete............thanks chaps Chris...........yup same prob here, the main screens front and rear line up perfick but the side windows are down by about 1mm..........i`ll probably chop the glazing into separate sections and fit it that way rather than as one lump |

Post by Paul B on Jan 20, 2019 16:42:26 GMT
Nice , shame about the glazing though |

Post by Boots on Jan 20, 2019 17:55:18 GMT
Merci beaucoup Mr B The glazing should be able to be corrected hopefully.........it`s made as one unit so i`ll just carefully cut the sections out and fit `em seperately |
