Thanks to all for looking in.

The large rear mounted fuel tank is in four major pieces ( three shown here ). It locates on two pins at the end of the chassis and a pair of structural supports still to be added. Quite a bit of forming to be done to get these to fit nicely. These larger thin parts tend to get distorted in the packing of the kit.RM1 attached the following image(s):

A floor piece gets screwed to the rails and will support some of the bodywork.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Here's those pieces cleaned up and loosely positioned. RM1 attached the following image(s):

Hi Malc, Another fantastic update. If it wasn't for the cutting pad adding a sense of scale, it would look like the real thing!!! Kind regards, Garth "Measure twice, cut once!!!"

MFH kits are wonderful. They will also drive you absolutely batty. Every part needs to be treated as a kit unto itself. But, the results are absolutely worth it. I’m working on the Bugatti T-35 right now, and have done a lot of hacking and sawing on the bodywork.

It looks incredible. A really great build. I wish MFH made some kits in 1/8 scale but I guess I'd need a 2nd mortgage to buy one if they did...  Roy.
