Coming along nicely there and it certainly looks like you get your moneys worth in build time.

Coming along nicely there and it certainly looks like you get your moneys worth in build time. Always with the positive waves 👍 OK, so put the blade attachment on today, yep all day, slippy tricky SOAB that was but hey.  The lane marking equipment finished and dry fitted.  And a dry fit to lift my spirits. (it worked)  The next step is the link and length, I need to fort out the suspension first, so I'll sort that over the weekend and start the side skirts. Stay safe guys. |

How's this for a crap update, one side skirt, I need two but I just couldn't be bothered to do the other one, when I do that'll be the last of the main build. I'll paint that and then sort out the bussines end!! 😂  The instructions called out for a single rivet in multiple locations, I'm sorry I have a life!!  |

I understand the there are limits to moulding, I also understand giving modellers something to build but what on earth is the idea behind this one?

The good thing is, they're brass and one piece . If this was Mini Art you have sprue attachments which you have to cut off and probably a top and bottom part to stick together |

Oh I hate etched rivets & bolts, total waste of time, are those side skirts made up of separate sections too?

One of the worst cases I’ve seen was a a Trumpeter kit, possibly T-72, when all of the fasteners for the nuclear protection ‘cloth’ where PE parts. Did I really want to put close to one hundred of them on and it’s not the type of detail you can just leave off as it won’t be noticeable. |
