Pete, cheers ole chap , I made the best I could of it  . Boots, appreciated fella . Guy, I reckon I screwed up just as much as AFV did, but what the heck you gotta build what you got  . Cheers mucker . Carl, I still swear that this isn't AFV, it's a bronco under the AFV name. Which does explain a lot of the issues here. Anyway I have done my best and it's appreciated that you like that . Jeff, many thanks to thee also kind Sir . Today this lovely looking kit ( well from the box art anyway) came very close to meeting a nasty friend of Boots an mine  , yes I do mean the Brick of Doom. The following parts are real pain the butt as they do not fit without serious persuasion: PE exhaust guards Front and rear headlights Side engine cover hinges Left and right grab bars Drainage covers over the side vision ports     More torture soon chaps |

Jeff, I'm hanging fella and I ain't letting go now . Carl, I do believe that you're 100% correct on that . And the brick of doom has moved well into the background now . Okay chaps, I added more PE and some missing details today. The rear Notek light and it's mount came from the spares box and left over PE. I'm glad I had some pics of 231, these certainly helped here . The convoy lights are in the kit, but not mentioned. The width poles are from RB models and had the rubber wobblers added from white rod. Here's the piccies for yaz    I'll check this over tomorrow, just to make sure everything that needs to be stuck in place, is stuck. Then I should be able to get the outside primed and painted . |
