Thanks guys for looking and your comments. I am getting my issues from the local shop after the problems i have had in the past when subscribing with eaglemoss. The parts are good quality, not as good as the Nissan parts but should be a good model when its finished. Would be nice to see a partwork for the ghostbusters ecto 1 to go next to the Delorean. I am hoping the partwork for the Subaru impreza comes to the UK that looks like a really nice model. Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.
Finished Builds - Nissan GTR, Millennium Falcon.
Other model kit builds - Tamiya RC Trucks, Tamiya RC cars
Thanks for looking.

Ecto 1 has the potential to be a great model but personally i'm hoping they go ahead with the 66 Batmobile that had a trial run last year Current builds: Eaglemoss DeLorean, Deagostini R2 D2 Build

Fix the pinion onto the steering rack and secure with a FM screw, then fix the pull rod in the same way. Push 1 of the boots over the end of the steering rack and push it all the way down until it stops, do the same for the other side. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

Push the left anti-roll bar base into the two holes on the bottom plate, turn the bottom plate over and add 2 AP screws. Do the same for the Right side. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

A quick post on something I found out last night. Make sure both the steering rods are the correct way up. The one that attaches to the rest of the steering is fairly obvious, but the smaller one isn't so obvious. Both of them should have a slight slope DOWN to the steering rack. The short one of mine is upside-down and slopes up. This is pulling the steering up on that side and putting stress on the other components. Current Builds

The wheel is put together in the same way as issue 3. I have showed how i am installing the LEDs to the wheels If any one is wanting to do the same. At the min the wheels will not be able to spin as the wires are in the way but i am trying to sort a better way so if i wanted the car to roll it can do. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

Thanks tigerace this is the first time i have worked with LED strip lights and soldering. I don't think i did a bad job I am thinking about adding a micro 2 pin connector in the wheel so i can have the car roll. Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

Great idea to add lightening to the wheels; how does it look with the wheel on, is the lighting uniform through the wheel? A circular light 'tube' like a fluorescent lamp bulb would be ideal for this, i don't think there are any that small though
