Ok.....small up-date ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Been a tad busy with work ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) Underneath primered to Grey and then sprayed back to White ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) , 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

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

Jeff and Pete............thanks chaps ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Merci beaucoup Mr B ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) 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 ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
