 Hi All Packs 10-11. Made up the left rear brake parts then added the four hoses to the right radiator housing, I have included a picture of how Im stretching the hoses with a pair of metal tweezers. Next the left rear upright was assembled, the hub was also drilled out like the brake discs then the brake parts added to make a complete hub. Assembled the rear shocks and put the hoses on the T-piece then everything was inked as instructed. Started to construct the inner and outer gearbox parts adding the components as instructed, the two brake reservoirs were then made up. Assembled the right rear upright and finally added the brackets to the lower wishbone and gearbox.More soon.

Hi Andy Looking really good, a really clean build with nice little details. I'm so looking forward to getting these packs. Good tip with the hose stretching. Can I ask if you needed to soften in warm water or something first? Cheers, Si Senna fan since I was tiny. F1 geek. Modelling noob... 😊

Hi Si Thanks for looking in and your comments. You will soon be drooling over your own packs as the detail just gets better and better. I dint pre-heat or anything with the tubes I just inserted the Tweazer point and left it for a minute or two the stretch then inserted it onto the stud, some took a couple of try,s as you need to be quick but they all went on ok.

Hi All Pack 12. Assembled the upper gear box and added the nuts the only thing I did different here was to add the glue to the bolt holes as instructed but then I pulled them out about half way to draw the glue down then pushed the bolts home. Made up the rear shocks as instructed, added the various hoses and anti roll bar. Then added the rear left suspension arms, quarter panel and hub. More soon.

Andy, I noticed as I have just done this bit. The hose which goes from the rear of the box, then under the oil cooler and then up to a union in the top of the box. I noticed that you didn't pass the hose through the rear suspension mount plate and you took it over it instead. I doubt it will make any difference. Just an observation.
