This box full of bits and the magazines just arrived. A build for someone else. Well, it would be rude not to... roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Up to issue 7.
I'm not going to post a full-on build of this one as it's an old kit now and there are umpteen builds already posted, including one of mine from that time.
All good fun though. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Moving along a bit with this one again. All very straightforward so far as everything fits together really well. Lots of parts have been completely repainted even though it's not noticeable in the pics. Slowly getting there now.roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Still getting on with this one.
It's the second one of these I've built and I had forgotten that there was a big design fault with the injector box on top of the engine, and the rear upper body.
Basically, it just didn't fit together and the makers of the kit had to issue a four page 'fix' which entails removing the black/gold box and shortening its height by at least 1mm - ideally around 2mm, trimming the leading edge of the black curved air intake that sits on top, and thinning down an area inside the silver body panel.
Even then, the upper body doesn't fit very well and I had to come up with my own fix on the previous one I built. I'll have to do the same with this one.
On we go.roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Four wheels on my wagon...
Two small bits to add, then the dreaded decals. The next post on this one will be in the completed section.
