Hi All This months issue has arrived, It contains the parts for the motion frame and leaf springs and fittings. No real difficultys here you just need 3 hands at times holding things in position and then getting the nuts on. Im now getting to the point where I need to start painting the chassis soon as with the second set of wheels provided this month and there mounting brackets. regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy, Looking good. I might be wrong, but are the 2 Equaliser Bars the right way up? It's difficult to see clearly, but from the PDF instructions they are the other way I think.

Hi Karl Yup easily done and the vasaline is a good tip as the little ';'@?@?~~~# have a mind of there own as do the nuts for the back. One thing I would add though is if you are intending to paint the model vasaline and paint don't mix well regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
