Some painting and assembly done around the rear suspension. Some of the mouldings are a bit poor. Loads of flash and very thick gating onto the sprues. So quite some cleaning up to do.

That is looking really impressive. It's going to be a great display piece.
Why not have a go at one of the classic Pocher kits?

The wire wheels are an interesting assembly of four sections that stack up with a hub piece in between layers 2 and 3. There is not a definite location feature that aligns all the parts so it's possible to get the spokes in the wrong orientation. ( I know 'cause it happened ). Four screws from one side and two in the center from the other. Makes for a good looking wire wheel.
