Holy moly.....this was a tad different to work with after it`s bigger brother!!!!!!!!!, loads of parts and detail........but tweeking was needed
, had to over size two of the wheel inners as there was a very slight rock in the chassis...........i tried and tried but could not get that out!!, by over sizing the wheel inner holes allowed for a bit of C/A Gel and let it level naturally by having play in the fitting. This has taken about 4 or 5 days to get this far and many visits to the carpet monster for retrieval of whats rightfully mine
!!!
It`s a great little kit if ya don`t mind a bit of minor fettling...........47 parts fort he trailer and 105 parts for the cab and winches.....less the wheels, these are all two part affairs and consist of 36 parts.....quite a bucketful for 1/72
Also added some rear ramp retaining wires.........5amp fuse wire twisted, dunno why they omit detail like that......gravity ain`t gonna keep `em in place on the move
The instructions have you build this all buttoned up so i ignored that request
, i also left the front panels open and added the two tiny stays that arn`t included, this was 0.20" rod....yes i have spotted that sink mark on the inner door.........don`t show to the drunken` eye tho
Jeff..........just to stop the teasing......this is for you

Havn`t built a 1/72 for years...........so this has been a challenge for my sausage fingers, can`t wait to get my new diopter at Xmas![8-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/nerd.png)
I havn`t forgotton the small siren for the front btw................also there is no mirrors in the kit, don`t know if i got anything small and circular enough to make `em.......my hole punch won`t go to that small!!!
Cheers all
