 The tank was resprayed and looks better now, the lower cockpit and upper cockpit were joined using the provided screws and the seat has had the seat belts fitted. The seat is dry fitted for now as there are wires ect still to be fitted.  arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy. I must apologise for not spotting this build earlier. Looks like a great MFH kit to build. I'll be following with interest. You've made a super start.

The tank was added to the peddle box plate and then more rivets were added to the side of the inner chassis. The front suspension is next up with the wish bones added along with the nose bulk head and brake resevoirs. Lots of prep going on for the front wheel/steering right now should get some more done for tomorrow. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

This is looking fantastic Andy with some great detail and some very nicely done carbon fibre decaling. Top job, very well done!
I think this will be your best yet and something quite special when finished.

The front wheel hubs and brake calipers were made up and any etch ect added. Then after assembly the brake lines were added to each hub. The hubs were then fixed in place and the steering and suspension rods added. The peddle box was fixed in position and two plates with rivets attached to the cockpit outer. The two front air scoops to cool the brakes were painted with carbon grey as was the front inner nose section. I have started carbon decaling the air scoops and the nose section will follow. The last picture shows the nose section in place. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Nice, Andy! It at the stage where it starts looking like a water bug. It always amazes me how spindly the suspension arms are on these.

The front nose inner nose cone now has its carbon decals added along with the front brake air scoops. The carbon cecals here are a very tight weave making the parts look black in color but when they catch the light the weave shows up. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
